Last year, during Mohbad’s Candlelight ceremony, Davido made headlines after he was captured knocking a fan’s phone as he attempted to capture the singer.
In February, Davido’s bouncer, Lati, came under fire after a video of him assaulting the singer’s fan went viral. Following the backlash, Lati had allegedly compensated him for the assault with N200k and had reached out to him to apologise for his wrongdoing.
Reacting to it, Anita Joseph had reacted to the video, describing it as unfair and questioning what triggered him.
Skitmaker and content creator, Mr Macaroni expressed how saddening he was seeing the video as he described it as condemnable and dehumanizing.
In another tweet, he admonished fans to respect the privacy of celebrities as he noted how respect is reciprocal. In a message to celebrities, he told them to treat their fans with respect and dignity.
