I have never been arrested – Singer Davido debunks rumour

Afrobeats star David Adeleke, aka Davido, has debunked rumours that he was arrested in East Africa where he was on tour on April 1, 2024.

Some sections of the media reported on Monday that the singer was arrested.

However, reacting in a statement released via his X handle on Tuesday, Davido explained that contrary to the reports, he wasn’t arrested, stressing that he had a successful tour in Uganda and Kenya and has now returned to Nigeria.

He noted that he has never been arrested for any crime throughout his career.

The singer vowed to take legal action against the fabricators of the rumours.

“I find the fabrication of allegations of such international crimes extremely irresponsible regardless of the light of ‘April Fools’, and my lawyer is seeking legal recourse against the media parties responsible for generating this misinformation,” the statement read partly.
