Mavo has apologised for past tweets about Davido, Rema, Ayra Starr, Erica and other celebrities after the posts recently resurfaced online.
One of the resurfaced tweets was posted in September 2020 while Erica was a contestant on Big Brother Naija. Mavo wrote, “I hate this Erica babe Fr fr.” After the post resurfaced, Erica quoted the tweet, replying, “Lol wow but you were nice to me when we met.”
Mavo also previously described Ayra Starr as “mid.” The pair have since collaborated on the remix of Mavo’s breakout single “Escaladizzy.”
Since breaking out in 2025, Mavo has also collaborated with Davido on “Nakupenda” and the remix of “Shakabulizzy.”
Addressing his past criticism, Mavo said he was “a bad entertainment critic” when he started university and eventually stopped focusing on criticism to concentrate on his music.
“My criticism sadly unfortunately & unintentionally hurt quite a number of people & i’m honestly sorry,” he wrote. Mavo added that he has met many of the people he previously criticised and found them to be “amazing people,” describing his earlier views as a “misjudgment.”
He concluded his post with, “let love lead.”
