Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has debunked claims that he was slapped during a recent outing in Warri, Delta State.
A video that circulated online over the weekend showed the singer surrounded by security operatives and fans, with a brief moment where it appeared someone struck him on the head. The clip quickly went viral, prompting social media reactions, including an X.com user, #AsakyGRN, who wrote: “Warri people no get joy oo. See dem sl@p Davido for head.”
Addressing the speculation on Monday via his official X handle, Davido clarified that the incident was a misunderstanding. According to him, it was not an assault but a mistake caused by one of his security aides.
“Mumu, that was my security… hit me by mistake… saddist,” the singer posted.
His statement has since cleared the air and put an end to the rumours sparked by the viral video.
