Popular Nigerian singer Dammy Krane has accused fellow artist Davido of orchestrating his arrest on defamation charges.
In a series of posts on his X handle, Dammy Krane claimed that he was illegally detained by the police at Davido’s behest. He further alleged that there were plans to frame him for involvement in cryptocurrency scams.
“If anything happens to me, @davido should be held responsible. Oppressor @davido has paid them to arrest me. They wrote a petition, lying that I am into Flutterwave & Crypto scams just to arrest me. This is how they keep using the bad cops to spoil the name of the police,” he posted on X.
The feud between the two artists dates back to 2023 when Dammy Krane accused Davido of owing him money. Davido responded by calling Dammy Krane ungrateful. Since then, Dammy Krane has continued to publicly criticize Davido, even accusing him of being involved in the death of his friend, Tagbo Umeike, who died in 2017 from alleged alcohol poisoning after a birthday party at Shisha Lounge in Lekki, Lagos State.
Veteran fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde, known as KWAM 1 De Ultimate, has intervened, urging both artists to make peace during a live performance.
