Davido’s logistics manager, Israel DMW, issued a statement on his social‑media handle to deny any involvement by the Afro‑pop star in the controversies surrounding fellow Nigerian artist Naira Marley, the late singer Mohbad’s death, or a purported plot to have social‑media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) arrested.
Israel clarified that members of a WhatsApp group allegedly linked to the dispute joined the chat without Davido’s knowledge or approval, stating, “Those who were in that WhatsApp group got there without his instructions or approval.”
He also questioned rumors that Davido had engaged in a feud with music producer Samklef, sought Mohbad’s music catalogue, or attempted to sign former associate Zinoleesky, calling such claims “fully lied.”
According to Israel, Davido faced “serious pressure” to unfollow Naira Marley on Instagram but refused, insisting that the police should handle any investigation and that he would not act on “any hearsay.”
Israel emphasized that the two singers remain on good terms, noting that they have previously collaborated on a hit song together.
Regarding an alleged incident at Naira Marley’s residence, Israel explained that the disagreement involved Tolu, a former member of Davido’s 30BG crew, and one of Naira’s associates, and that “nobody was beaten or attacked.”
The manager’s remarks aim to clear the air around the circulating rumors, reaffirming Davido’s stance of non‑involvement in the disputes that have drawn public attention in Nigeria’s vibrant music scene.
