Stung by bashings, Davido pacifies girls he had ‘abused’ for accusation against him

CELEBRITY GIST... Tacha, Cosmos, Don Jazzy, Davido, Cossy and all that went down in the week

‘Blow My Mind’ crooner, Davido has moved to quell the bashings he received on social media for handcuffing and parading two women who had jokingly accused him of impregnating one of them on social media, by taking the pair on a treat.

Going by his recent activity on Instagram, the father of three who may have been disturbed by the deluge of criticism for his action against the girls, performed a PR stint.

Davido recently shared a video of his pranksters chilling by the pool side, on his verified Instagram page and even more interesting about the video post, is the fact that the ladies were dancing to his latest single, titled ‘Risky’.

The development comes after the singer was called out by staunch supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari who criticised him for accusing Nigeria’s number one citizen of abuse of power, but could subject the two ladies to torture by cuffing and parading them as naysayers.

In a series of backlash directed at Davido on Twitter, the singer was also slammed for defending the action of Spesh (Davido’s hypeman) who could be heard in the background of the video telling one of the ladies to lift up her head or get a slap in the face.

Below are some of the caustic comments directed at Davido on Twitter by supporters of Buhari who took to the social media platform to spill their guts over the action of the singer against ladies.

Kayode Ogundamisi posted on Twitter saying, “Imagine Davido as first Cousin in Osun State with his uncle Isiaka Adeleke as Governor and Buhari is meant to be the tyrant o!”

In the same vein, Jack Obinyan who did not support the actions, said “Davido should have left the women alone after they apologised because nobody arrested him for all the crap he said during the Osun elections.

“After the public apology, why will the girls be handcuffed and dehumanised in that manner? Davido is crap! Who arrested him for all the nonsense he said during the Osun elections? I dislike this guy now,” Obinyan posted on Twitter.

Also, Ayo Oyalowo also lashed Davido stating that Davido had no moral justification to call Buhari a tyrant for treating the ladies in such a manner.

He wrote on Twitter; “How come a simple civil case turned into handcuffs, harassment and videoing them? If this one’s brother had become governor, I can’t imagine how he would treat anyone who as much as refused to ‘dobale’ for him… meanwhile these same folks defame PYO daily here.

“This same Davido has been calling the President a tyrant ooo, imagine his brother was governor, just imagine it for a minute

“They (the women) defamed him, true, but it is a civil case, not a criminal offence,” Oyalowo added.
