“If anything happens to me, hold Davido responsible” – Dammy Krane

Popular Nigerian singer, Dammy Krane, has alleged that fellow artiste Davido orchestrated his illegal arrest by the police, accusing him of defamation.

In a series of posts on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, Dammy Krane claimed that his arrest was ordered by Davido, further accusing the “OBO” crooner of plotting to frame him for involvement in cryptocurrency scams.

“If anything happens to me, @davido should be held responsible,” Dammy Krane wrote. “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.”

The rift between the two artistes traces back to 2023, when Dammy Krane publicly called out Davido over an alleged unpaid debt.

The situation escalated when Davido responded, labeling Dammy Krane as ungrateful.

Since then, Dammy Krane has persistently accused Davido of various misdeeds, including insinuating that Davido was involved in the death of his friend, Tagbo Umeike, who passed away in 2017 after a night out in Lekki, Lagos State.
