Nigerian music icon, Davido, has instructed his legal team to take legal action against the media outlet responsible for a misguided April Fool’s joke.
The false story, initially spread by Kenya’s K24 TV on April 1, falsely claimed Davido’s arrest in Kenya on drug-related charges.
Reacting to the fabricated report after his East African tour, Davido condemned it as “extremely irresponsible.”
He highlighted his unblemished record, stating he has never been arrested anywhere globally, including Nigeria and America.
After K24 TV’s publication, the hoax quickly spread across social media platforms, inundating Davido with inquiries.
Despite completing successful concerts in Uganda and Kenya, Davido faced undue scrutiny upon returning to Nigeria.
Rejecting the allegations, he reassured fans of his innocence and expressed frustration with the misinformation, regardless of its April Fool’s pretext.
Davido pledged legal action against the responsible media entity, indicating a strong response to the dissemination of false information.
