A false headline linking Afrobeats artist David Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, to kidnappings has angered him.

In reference to the gang leader’s nickname, a blog on X posted a video of three alleged kidnappers who were caught in Lagos with the comment, “Davido and two others apprehended for kidnapping in Lagos.”

Many fans, however, were perplexed by the headline since they believed it to be a reference to the singer.

The musician was offended by this and warned to take strong action against such deceptive headlines in the future.

He predicted that those who sell false headlines would soon face the consequences of their actions.

Davido reshared the news, writing, “One day go be one day… Proceed. My karma doesn’t always work out.
