Nigerian music producer Samklef has called out music star Davido over his recent comments about Sheila Courage, the estranged wife of his logistics manager, Israel DMW.
Samklef, who was visibly upset, took to Twitter to express his disapproval, questioning Davido’s lack of empathy and morals in handling the situation.
Davido is reported to have recently thrown shade at Sheila Courage, stating that she must be feeling bad because Israel was on top, flying in jets, and spending billions, implying that it was her loss. This comment came after Israel had expressed gratitude to Davido for his financial and emotional support during his trip to the South of France.
Samklef, however, wasn’t pleased with Davido’s jab. In a series of tweets, he criticized the singer, asking how he could refer to someone’s ex-wife in such derogatory terms. He stressed that Davido’s behavior was unbecoming, especially for someone who recently got married. The music producer made it clear that such remarks were offensive and urged Davido to grow up and seek mentorship.
Samklef’s Tweets
Samklef’s tweets made a strong case against Davido’s conduct. He pointed out the hypocrisy in Davido’s actions, particularly in comparison to his fellow artists, Wizkid and Burna Boy, who, according to Samklef, would never behave in such a manner. He said:
How can you call somebody’s ex-wife a bitch? This is not cool! Davido needs good mentoring! This is so wrong!”
Samklef went further to question how Davido would react if someone called his wife, Chioma, the same derogatory term. He urged Davido to consider the impact of his words, particularly given his recent marriage, and to stop enabling oppressive behaviour through materialism and flaunting private jets.
This isn’t the first time Samklef has clashed with Davido. In October 2023, the two fell out after Davido accused Samklef of leaking private photos of his wife, Chioma, and their twins. Samklef denied the accusation, but the feud intensified as Samklef publicly called out Davido over various accusations, including unpaid debts and disrespect towards his uncle, Dele Momodu.
Despite their fallout, Samklef had called for reconciliation at some point, urging Davido to apologize to those he has wronged. However, with this recent controversy, the tension between the two seems to have resurfaced, with Samklef accusing Davido of needing mentorship and emotional growth.
