Tiwa Savage Files Police Report Alleging Threats from Davido
Nigerian music sensation Tiwa Savage has taken legal action against fellow artist Davido, filing a formal police complaint accusing him of issuing threats. The dispute between the two artists escalated when Tiwa shared a photo on her Instagram story featuring herself with the mother of one of Davido’s children.
The tension unfolded as Davido, a Grammy nominee, allegedly responded with derogatory language, considering Tiwa’s post as a form of provocation. Tiwa Savage, in her police complaint, detailed that Davido warned her through mutual acquaintances to “be careful in Lagos,” interpreting his words and actions as a direct threat to her safety, privacy, and dignity.
Despite the public nature of the feud, Davido has not yet provided any comment in response to the BBC’s inquiry. Tiwa Savage, however, has taken a proactive step to involve law enforcement, expressing concern for her well-being and that of her family.
The reported threats prompted Tiwa to formally request the police to hold Davido accountable if any harm befalls her or her family. The situation has led to both artists unfollowing each other on Instagram, underscoring the severity of the disagreement.
Lagos state police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the receipt of Tiwa Savage’s complaint to the BBC, signaling the initiation of a formal investigation into the matter. The dispute sheds light on the intersection of social media interactions and real-life implications, prompting legal recourse to address alleged threats and ensure the safety of those involved.
