Dammy Krane Petitions Police Over Rift With Davido, Demands $500k Payment

Dammy Krane has filed a petition against singer, Davido, demanding $500k compensation.
Recall that the duo have been at loggerheads since October 2023 after Krane called out Davido on social media, claiming he owed him for songwriting contributions.


According to a report by TheCable, Krane also accused the ‘Assurance’ hitmaker of sabotaging his record deal with Sony Music.

In response to the allegations, Davido labeled Krane “ungrateful” and claimed he received no payment for their collaborations. Davido also mentioned that he provided shelter and support for Krane when he was homeless.
Since then, Krane has continued to attack Davido on social media; even accusing him of being involved in the death of his friend Tagbo Umeike. Tagbo died from alleged alcohol poisoning in October 2017.
Davido dismissed claims and threatened to sue Krane for “defamation of character and cyberbullying”.
In a letter posted on his social media pages, Krane accused Davido of several wrongdoings while addressing five key concerns.
The singer alleged that Davido and his allies are threatening his life. He also called for the re-opening of Tagbo’s death case.
Krane pleaded with the inspector-general to help lift the restrictions on his bank accounts, which he claimed made it difficult for him to access his funds.
The singer also appealed to Egbetokun to get Davido to “pay me all the money he owed for the song ‘Pere’”.
He claimed Davido agreed to pay him $500,000 for their collaborative song but has refused to pay him.
Krane added that he is traumatised following the arrest and “continuous threat of arrest”.
On August 22, Krane alleged that Davido orchestrated his recent arrest. He claimed Davido paid the law enforcement agency to detain him under the pretense of being involved in illegal activities related to Flutterwave and cryptocurrency scams.
The singer was released on August 29 after spending six days in detention at the Criminal Investigation Department (FCID).

You Lack Empathy – Samklef Slams Davido For Mocking Israel DMW’s Ex-Wife Sheila

Samklef, the popular Nigerian music producer, has slammed Davido for mocking his logistics manager, Israel DMW’s estranged wife, Sheila Courage.

Recall that Israel got married to Sheila on October 20, 2022, and the couple parted ways in less than a year after their grand wedding over alleged domestic violence and infidelity.

However, in a viral video on social media on Friday, Davido weighed in on Israel’s marital issues. While boarding his newly acquired private jet with Israel, the musician was heard saying that Sheila ‘is regretting now’.

Reacting to the video clip in a series of posts on his official X handle, Samklef stated that Davido lacks empathy and morals.

He noted that Wizkid and Burna Boy would never call someone’s ex-wife a bitch.

“Dear Davido, you have shown a lack of morals by calling Israel’s ex-wife a “bitch.” How would you feel if someone called your wife, Chioma, the same?

“Wasn’t Israel already flying in private jets before your marriage? Why do you lower yourself like this? You seem to lack empathy and morals, but of course, your hypocritical fans won’t see problem in your childish remark. Happiness does not come from flying in a private jet. You need mentorship and counseling.

“Somebody needs to tell Davido the truth. He needs to grow up. Private jet material thing. Zero mentorship.”
