"1. Davido never said you are his boy… na all these online niggas Dey yern those bulshit. 2. Davido no send you or anyone as you no send am too that’s why he never responded to things you talk about him. 3. I would only advise anytime a 30BG staff go contrary, it’s good you post only the persons picture without using the picture Davido and the culprit snap together. While addressing the persons matter, it’s wise not to mention Davido’s name too because it’s not good for his brand. No one is against what you do because all of us are with you including Davido. Peace and love 🥂✌️."
