What started as a night of high-energy performances at Davido’s Nigeria 5ive Tour on Sunday, November 9, 2025, at Obafemi Awolowo Stadium, Ibadan, reportedly took a tense turn for rapper Zlatan.
The stadium, packed with 25,000 fans, erupted as Davido, Mayorkun, Dremo, B-Red, and other performers delivered electrifying sets. However, Zlatan’s post-performance exit was allegedly interrupted by a group of unidentified individuals.
Eyewitnesses and videos circulating online show the group approaching Zlatan aggressively, shouting slurs and making veiled threats.
Despite the intimidation, Zlatan remained calm and unarmed, exchanging brief words with the group before safely exiting the venue. His composed response is credited with preventing a situation that could have turned physical.
The incident has sparked widespread conversation among fans and concertgoers, with many questioning security protocols at large-scale events. Observers expressed concern about how such an encounter could occur in a stadium of this size.
As of now, event organizers have not released a statement, leaving fans eager for clarification on measures taken to ensure artist and attendee safety during high-profile concerts.
