Grammy-nominated Nigerian artist Davido has ignited a frenzy online with an unconventional handshake captured in a viral video, fueling speculation about his potential affiliations with fraternities.
In the footage, Davido, dressed in black attire, shares greetings with another individual also clad in black, with their handshake drawing attention for its unusual nature.
The video has stirred a flurry of reactions, with many online users suggesting that Davido’s gesture could be indicative of fraternity involvement. However, amidst the speculation, others criticized the assumptions, highlighting the singer’s stature and suggesting that such behavior is beneath his status.
While some commentators dismissed the handshake as trivial, others questioned the wisdom of engaging in such actions publicly, particularly for someone of Davido’s prominence. Amidst the debates, comparisons were drawn to similar instances involving other celebrities, such as Naira Marley, whose past interactions sparked similar controversy.
Last year, Naira Marley faced scrutiny after a video surfaced showing him exchanging greetings with friends using a distinct handshake, prompting speculation about his affiliations and lifestyle choices. The incident occurred amidst ongoing controversies surrounding the singer, including allegations of assault and involvement in illicit activities, which he vehemently denied.
In a separate development, Davido recently expressed doubts about his career choice, citing admiration for the lavish lifestyles of football stars like Mbappe, Messi, and Ronaldo sparking discussions about celebrity career paths and the pursuit of success across different industries.
Additionally, Davido faced criticism for socializing with controversial figure Very Dark Man, known for his outspoken views and criticisms of celebrities. The interaction raised eyebrows among fans, particularly given Very Dark Man’s contentious remarks and ongoing involvement in contentious issues within the entertainment industry.
