[justseyi]

Nigerian singer Dammy Krane has openly accused fellow music superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, of being behind his recent arrest. In a bold statement, Krane urged Nigerians to hold Davido accountable if any harm comes his way, intensifying the ongoing feud between the two artists.

 

The rift between Dammy Krane and Davido traces back to last year when Krane claimed that Davido owed him money for his contributions as a songwriter.

Krane further alleged that Davido sabotaged his potential record deal with Sony Music, which added more fuel to the fire.Davido, however, has consistently denied these allegations, labeling Krane as “ungrateful.”

He stated that he never received any payment for their collaborations and reminded Krane that he had provided him with shelter and support during a time when Krane was homeless.

Since then, Dammy Krane has continued to target Davido on social media, escalating the situation by accusing Davido of being involved in the death of his friend, Tagbo Umeike, who tragically passed away in October 2017 due to suspected alcohol poisoning.

Davido has vehemently denied these claims and threatened to take legal action against Krane for defamation and cyberbullying.In a recent post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Dammy Krane accused Davido of orchestrating his arrest, alleging that the singer paid authorities to detain him under false accusations related to Flutterwave and cryptocurrency scams.

“Oppressor @davido has paid them to arrest me,” Krane wrote. “They falsely accused me of being involved in Flutterwave & crypto scams just to detain me.

This is how they use corrupt cops to tarnish the police’s reputation. If anything happens to me, @davido should be held responsible.

“As of now, Davido and his team have not responded to Dammy Krane’s latest accusations, leaving fans and the public to wonder how this high-profile dispute will unfold.

Update: 

Nigerian Singer Dammy Krane Detained for 4 Days Over Tweets About Davido

Nigerian singer Oyindamola Emmanuel, popularly known as Dammy Krane, has been detained by the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Center (NPF-NCCC) for four days due to tweets he made involving David Adeleke, better known as Davido.

On Wednesday, Dammy Krane was invited to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Panti, Lagos State, to answer questions related to cryptocurrency trading, as reported by FIJ. Upon his arrival, he was informed of a petition sent from Abuja that mentioned Davido and accused Dammy Krane of cyberstalking.

After presenting the petition to him, the police confiscated Dammy Krane’s personal belongings and detained him at the SCID. The following day, he was flown to Abuja to provide a statement at the NPF-NCCC office.

While in detention, Dammy Krane was able to access his phone and contact a lawyer. He also tweeted, alleging that “Oppressor Davido has paid them to arrest me. They wrote a petition lying that I am involved in Flutterwave and crypto scam just to arrest me. This is how they keep using the bad cops to spoil the name of the police.”

According to sources close to the situation, FIJ learned that the police are accusing Dammy Krane of criminal defamation and cyberstalking based on previous tweets in which he suggested that Davido had knowledge about the death of Tagbo Umeike, an associate of Davido, on October 3, 2017. Dammy Krane cited a video where police admitted that Davido misled them during their investigation into Tagbo’s death and called for further scrutiny into Davido’s potential involvement.

These accusations were reportedly detailed in the petition filed with the police.

On Thursday, Dammy Krane was granted bail, but the police required him to provide a level 14 civil servant as a surety to secure his release. As of press time, he had not met this condition and remained in custody at the FCID in Abuja.

A source disclosed that Dammy Krane had previously filed a petition with the police over threats to his life, naming Davido as a primary suspect. However, the Lagos police did not summon Davido for questioning.

The conflict between Dammy Krane and Davido began after Dammy Krane demanded royalty payments for a song he wrote for Davido. The song, titled “Pere,” features Davido, Young Thug, and Swae Lee.

Despite a repeal in February 2024, the police continue to use Section 24 of the Cybercrime Act (2015) to arrest and detain Nigerians.
