Nigerian music sensation Davido has found himself embroiled in a fresh wave of controversy as allegations of unpaid debts continue to surface. The drama unfolded when Blessing Okoro, a prominent figure known for her vocal opinions, took to social media to call out the artist for a 4.5 million Naira debt owed to an undisclosed individual.
This latest episode in the ongoing online squabbles between Blessing Okoro and Very Darkman took an unexpected turn when Davido was spotted hosting Very Darkman at a hotel. Seizing the opportunity, Blessing Okoro publicly confronted Davido over the alleged financial debt related to the purchase of a white Venza car. The car, currently under the ownership of Davido’s associate, Israel, was reportedly obtained on credit, and the outstanding balance has remained unpaid for an astonishing four years.
Blessing Okoro did not limit her statements to financial matters. She also voiced her opinions about what she perceived as a culture of pretense and living a “fake life” in Lagos, a sentiment that has resonated with many.
Despite Davido’s celebrity status and substantial wealth, Blessing Okoro asserted that he should not evade his financial responsibilities, emphasizing that the person who sold the car to him is genuinely in need of the owed money.
As the controversy around these allegations grows, Davido has remained silent and has not publicly responded to these claims.
The recent series of accusations against Davido began with AbuSalam, who revealed that the artist owed him a staggering 218 million Naira related to a business deal that was left unfulfilled. This revelation sparked a cascade of additional allegations, with individuals coming forward to claim that Davido owes them money. Blessing CEO, for instance, disclosed the 4.5 million Naira debt related to the purchase of a vehicle for one of Davido’s aides, Israel. Fellow artist SamKlef also added his voice to the growing chorus of people alleging that Davido owes them money.
Davido has chosen to address the situation through his social media platforms. In a tweet, he expressed heartfelt appreciation for his devoted fans, emphasizing his unwavering determination by declaring himself “bulletproof.” He also conveyed a sense of optimism with the phrase “joy is coming,” suggesting that he remains undeterred by the allegations and controversy surrounding him and looks forward to brighter days ahead.
