Davido faces backlash over reported excessive security measures in Cape Town.
Nigerian music sensation Davido is facing criticism after pictures from an alleged trip to Cape Town appeared online. The images showed the musician flanked by highly armed security.
Some social media users criticized the heightened security, deeming it excessive for South Africa and suggesting that Davido might not require such protection in the country.
The photos, depicting Davido with individuals carrying AK-47s around him, circulated on the internet after he was said to be on a casual trip to Cape Town on Sunday, January 21, 2024.
One Twitter user shared a photo of Davido with armed guards, stating, “Davido is on a Vacation in Cape Town, South Africa!”

While not all reactions were negative, with some fans defending the singer’s security measures and acknowledging the high crime rates in South Africa, others raised concerns about the perceived extravagance and questioned whether such precautions were warranted.
Some users cited a past incident where Davido was reportedly robbed in the country, suggesting that heightened security might be a precautionary response to such incidents.

These bodyguards are so unnecessary, nobody cares about Davido in this country. Even Black Coffee doesn’t behave like this but he’s bigger than this guy. https://t.co/qgcY3uA4U2

1. He’s been robbed before in South Africa
2. This kind of protection could’ve saved AKA & DJ Sumbody https://t.co/evfvIvE0K2— 3️⃣🚙바 🇿🇦 (@UnkelChubbz) January 22, 2024
This a bit extreme though! Is this a war zone, unless I’m missing something..
