Davido releases an official statement about his rumoured arrest
Award-winning superstar Davido has issued an official statement addressing the recent rumors of his arrest, which circulated on social media platforms.
The reports, initially presented as an April Fools’ prank by a Kenyan media outlet, claimed that Davido had been arrested for drug possession following his performance at the Raha Festival. Allegations suggested that cocaine worth Ksh18 million was discovered on Davido’s private jet, which was reportedly detained at JKIA for investigation.
These false reports understandably caused concern among fans and prompted Davido to respond directly. In his statement, Davido expressed his intention to take legal action against the defamatory news publication.
It’s worth noting that Davido is a highly acclaimed Nigerian artist who has earned Grammy nominations for his contributions to music. The swift rebuttal from Davido underscores the importance of verifying information before it spreads, especially in the age of social media, where misinformation can quickly gain traction.

This album was a journey of self-discovery, a testament to growth, resilience, and so much more. Today we’re celebrating this milestone and I’m nothing but thankful. THANK YOU GOD! Oh and new music soon!”
