A blog on X recently shared a video featuring three suspected kidnappers being apprehended in Lagos, with the headline, “Davido and two others apprehended for kidnapping in Lagos,” referencing the nickname of the gang leader. This caused a stir as it falsely associated Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, with the crime.
The video, which circulated online, showed the kidnappers being captured by residents in the Victory Estate area of Ago Palace, Lagos State. The gang leader was reportedly nicknamed “Davido,” leading to the misleading headline that angered the superstar.
As the most followed Nigerian artist on social media, Davido expressed his frustration with the blog’s coverage and issued a stern warning, implying that karma would soon catch up with those responsible for the false claims.
In his response, Davido wrote, “One day go be one day… Continue. My karma no dey always tey.”
