A simmering feud between Nigerian music powerhouses Tiwa Savage and Davido has erupted into a public dispute, with Tiwa Savage officially filing a petition with the Lagos Commissioner of Police accusing Davido of threats of assault and harassment.
The petition, made public on January 9, 2024, sheds light on a series of alleged troubling interactions between the two artists. Tiwa Savage claims that Davido sent intimidating messages to her manager, warning her against any communication with him. Furthermore, she accuses him of threatening her with physical harm and alleging that she disrespected him through derogatory remarks on her Instagram story.
Neither Davido nor his representatives have publicly commented on the allegations at the time of writing. However, the leaked petition paints a disturbing picture of escalating tensions between the two musicians, both renowned figures within the Nigerian music scene.
Tiwa Savage, a multi-award-winning Afropop star, has been vocal about combating abuse and advocating for women’s rights. This latest development brings the issue of artist safety and online harassment within the music industry to the forefront.
