Social media users have defended award-winning music star Davido after he was accused of assaulting his bodyguard at his wedding.
Kemi Filani reported on Tuesday, June 25th, that Davido tied the knot traditionally to his long-time partner, Chioma. As expected, the wedding was a star-studded one, with A-list celebrities and high-profile dignitaries scoring an invite to the ceremony.
It isn’t surprising that such a wedding comes with drama as the singer has been called out for assaulting one of his bodyguards at the ceremony. A video making rounds online captured the moment Davido furiously slapped his bouncer with his wife, Chioma, standing by. From the clip, it seems like the bouncer was trying to stop a child from reaching out to the singer, and this, unfortunately, earned him a slap from Davido.
The bouncer was left shocked and speechless by his behaviour, and this created a stir online, but some online users have defended him.
Calling the singer out, one Benny slammed him for slapping a full-grown man at his wedding as he questioned if abusing people in broad daylight is now cool.
“Dawg. Davido really slapped a full-grown man at his wedding ceremony. Abusing people in broad daylight is now cool?”.

In February, Davido’s bouncer, Lati, came under fire after a video of him assaulting the singer’s fan went viral. Following the backlash, Lati had allegedly compensated him for the assault with N200k and had reached out to him to apologise for his wrongdoing.
Last year, during Mohbad’s Candlelight ceremony, Davido made headlines after he was captured knocking a fan’s phone as he attempted to capture the singer.
Also, during his Timeless Concert, Davido was on alert mode after a fan stormed the stage to meet him. The singer was ready to punch the fan, but the timely security intervention threw the fan off stage.
