Davido has sparked fresh controversy after delivering a harsh, two-word dismissal to a fan who urged him to take decisive action over the growing circulation of alleged leaked chats involving the artist.
An X user identified as@ibrosnapsshared the messages where the sender, using Davido’s photo and handle, accused him of ingratitude after supposed favours and warned of consequences if he came to Lagos.
Ibrahim captioned the post: “I’m just seeing this one o. 1. Help me ask this guy what has he really ever done for me. He might be confusing me with someone else. 2. What’s up with the threats? Is 30BG a music group or crime syndicate? Tell us now”
The clash later unfolded publicly on X (formerly Twitter), when moments later, a 30BG fan criticised those sharing supposed screenshots of private conversations with OBO, calling it “embarrassing” and urging the singer to “deal with anyone” involved.
The fan wrote: “.@davido mahn, if u wanna deal with anyone, go ahead and just do it. I am sick and tired of seeing fools posting screenshots of ur chats.. it’s embarrassing mahn.”
However, it was Davido’s response that really got fans talking. The Grammy nominee responded bluntly from his verified account: “F*** off.”
The fan returned beneath his own post to add layered context that referenced the alleged leaked chats themselves. His follow-up comments, “ ‘I swear on my mom’s grave’, ‘U be bird I be aye’. E don do abeg,” expressed exhaustion with the unfolding saga and the constant reappearance of the alleged chats.
They are direct echoes of the phrases circulated in the contentious screenshots. Rather than personal declarations, the comments appeared to mimic the tone and language attributed to Davido in those alleged messages.
Davido’s blunt outburst immediately set social media alight, with users across X rushing to weigh in on the exchange. Some were stunned by Davido’s response to his own fan. Others found humour in the moment, while a distinct section of fans compared his response to Burna Boy’s perceived disposition towards his fans.

This incident shows how hard it is for celebrities to protect their reputation online. Fans now expect famous people to explain themselves whenever something confusing or private appears on the internet. Davido’s short reply, which didn’t explain anything, shows that he chose not to respond the way people expected.
Meanwhile, Davido’s “5ive Alive” tour has been a massive commercial and critical success so far, marked by sold-out shows across North America and enthusiastic, high-energy receptions during its ongoing Nigerian leg. The North American leg was a triumph, with Davido celebrating 12 sold-out venues and generating millions of dollars in revenue. He performed at major arenas like the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, placing him in an elite group of African artists to achieve this milestone.
Concerts have been consistently described as having an “electric atmosphere,” with fans in cities like Uyo, Yola, Enugu, and Ibadan packing stadiums and venues, singing along to his greatest hits.
Social media has been filled with positive fan reviews and vibrant photos and videos of the packed crowds. The tour’s return to Nigeria has been noted as an important moment for Afrobeats, prioritizing local performances for Nigerian fans after extensive global touring. Events have drawn high-profile guests, including state governors and political dignitaries.
Davido has three more shows in December to wrap up his 2025 tour schedule before kicking off his European tour in March 2026. On December 5, the Afrobeats star will be performing at the BK Arena in Kigali, Rwanda, before returning to Eagle Square in Abuja, Nigeria, on December 14. He rounds up his tour with a Christmas Day concert at Eko Hotel in Lagos, on December 25. It would mark the final show and grand finale of the Nigerian leg of the “5ive Alive” homecoming tour.
