1. Spotted with a woman in bed
With stardom came many groupies
for Davido. A certain woman shared photos of herself and the singer in
bed. The photo is one of the most famous photo in Nigerian entertainment
history.
12. Beat Up taxi driver over his girlfriend
A taxi driver, Femi Ajibola, will never
forget July 1, 2012 in a hurry. At about 5.30 pm on that day, he
received a phone call from a young woman in the Lekki area of Lagos and
had quickly answered the subsequent invitation to pick her up.
“The lady introduced her as Susie. She
called me to come and pick her and her friend. They told me to come pick
them up at Mobolaji Estate near Lekki Second Roundabout. Later, I took
them to a hotel at Lekki Phase I to meet one of their friends.
“From there we left for Beni Apartment
in Victoria Island. They said that I should wait for them and promised
to be back soon. Not long afterwards, one of the girls began to scream
as she was coming towards my car. Behind her, I saw David Adeleke
(Davido) and four of his bouncers.
“The girl was running towards me. I
think they men had assaulted her. She said I should open the door for
her so that she would enter. I opened the door for her; as she was about
to enter the car, Davido caught up with her and slapped her face,”
Ajibola said.
In a bid to save the girl from further
assault, Ajibola switched on the engine of his cab and was about to
drive off when the youthful singer suddenly dealt him a slap.
The cabbie said, “He left the girl and
faced me. He said I was the one that brought the girls, that I am their
boyfriend. He knocked my face against the steering wheel of the cab.
This made blood begin to come out from my ear drums. He seized my car
keys and in the process, injured me.
“Before I knew what was going on, his
four bouncers began to beat me up. They beat me severely and took my car
keys from me and chased me away. This happened around 11 pm. I went to
report the matter at the Bar Beach Police Station, which was the nearest
one. I was asked to come back the next morning to report the case.”
Unfortunately, Ajibola had just taken delivery of the vehicle he was using for his transport business and had not paid the dealer in full before the incident. He said that the balance of N100,000 was in the car before the incident had happened. In the whole confusion, he could not pick the money as he was ordered to leave the car by the bouncers.

“I had taken delivery of the vehicle
about two weeks before the incident. I had paid my dealer N50,000 and
the other N100,000 was in the car because I could not pay it in the
bank. The money was in the car and since they had sent me away from the
car, I could not retrieve it.
“The following day, I did not find the
money in the cab. They did not even let me wind the car windows up
before they chased me out. I noticed that the car was ransacked. I
managed to obtain Davido’s phone number and called him. But he did not
pick his call. So I sent him a text message. Thirty minutes after I sent
him the message, someone picked up the call and promised to pass the
message to him. I did not get my car key throughout that day. I went to
the police station to file a report,” Ajibola said.
“When all efforts to contact Davido proved futile, the police had to go to Susie. Unfortunately, she was of no help.”
“On the fourth day, I went to Susie’s
house with the police. The ladies said they were not the ones that beat
me. They said the only help they could render was to give me Davido’s
address and that they had since settled their differences. The whole
point of the police visit was to use the girls to get to Davido, but the
girls made a phone call to an aunt of theirs and the policemen left
them, saying that they were not the ones that assaulted me,” the cab
driver said
