Nigerian singer Dammy Krane has publicly accused fellow artist Davido of being behind his recent arrest for defamation. In a series of posts on his X handle, Dammy Krane claimed that he was unlawfully detained by the police on Davido's orders.
Dammy Krane also alleged that there were plans to falsely implicate him in crypto-related scams following his arrest. He expressed his fears on social media, urging the public to hold Davido accountable if anything were to happen to him.
He wrote, “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 involved in Flutterwave & Crypto scams just to arrest me. This is how they keep using bad cops to tarnish the reputation of the police.”
The ongoing tension 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 criticize Davido online, even accusing him of being involved in the 2017 death of his friend, Tagbo Umeike, who allegedly died from alcohol poisoning after his birthday celebration.
Veteran fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde, also known as KWAM 1 De Ultimate, recently weighed in on the feud during a live performance, urging Dammy Krane and Davido to make peace.
