The online conversation surrounding Davido and Netflix’s hit series The Polygamist has taken another turn after the Afrobeats superstar publicly rejected comparisons to the show’s lead character, Jonasi Gomora.
The singer made the remark during a recent fan interaction captured in a video that has quickly circulated across social media. When asked about the comparisons between him and the fictional businessman, Davido gave a clear response.
“I am not Jonasi.”
His short statement immediately drew fresh reactions from fans, many of whom found the moment amusing because the singer had previously shared his thoughts about the series online.
Davido’s Earlier Reaction Sparked the Comparisons
The comparisons did not begin with the latest video. Shortly after The Polygamist premiered on Netflix, Davido reacted to the series on social media, describing Jonasi as “wild.”
That post quickly caught the attention of fans, who began linking the award-winning musician to the fictional character. Social media users flooded comment sections with memes, jokes and edited posts comparing Davido’s personal life with Jonasi’s complicated family story.
The conversation gained momentum because Jonasi is portrayed as a wealthy businessman whose secret relationships are exposed after his death.
The series follows the emotional fallout involving his three partners, six children and the conflicts that unfold as hidden truths come to light.
Since its June 12, 2026 release, The Polygamist has become one of Africa’s biggest streaming successes.
The South African drama climbed to the top of Netflix rankings in South Africa and Kenya, entered Nigeria’s Top 10 list and also secured a place among Netflix’s global Top 10 non-English television series.
Fans Keep the Conversation Going Online
Despite Davido’s attempt to dismiss the nickname, social media users have continued discussing the comparison across multiple platforms.
The singer is married to Chioma Adeleke and is also a father to children from previous relationships. That aspect of his personal life has contributed to the online jokes, although Jonasi remains an entirely fictional character whose story revolves around secrecy, betrayal and the consequences of polygamy.
