Burna Boy asks Dammy Krane to delete post calling Davido a ‘murderer’
Burna Boy has asked Dammy Krane to take down a social media post wherein he accused Davido of being involved in the death of his friend Tagbo Umeike.
Umeike died from alleged alcohol poisoning in October 2017 after his birthday party at Shisha Lounge in Lekki, Lagos state.
Davido previously dismissed claims that he had a hand in Tagbo’s death.
Last month, Krane revisited the matter, accusing Davido of being a “murderer”. He also hurled curses at the ‘OBO’ hitmaker.
Reacting to the accusation, Davido threatened to sue Krane for “defamation of character and cyberbullying”.
Krane, however, continued to call out Davido — despite the legal threat.
On Friday, the singer said he is ready to testify in court against the ‘Assurance’ hitmaker. He also dared Davido to sue him if he was lying.
“I’m boldly saying @davido has hand in Tagbo’s death,” he wrote.
“If im lying they should sue me, make everything cast for court. I ready help am spread all hin dirty linen for” public.”
But reacting via the post’s comment section, Burna Boy berated Krane for making “insensitive remarks” about Davido.
The Grammy Award winner also called on Krane to delete the post, adding that it was not the right way to handle rift.
He cautioned Krane against seeking to send Davido to jail, referencing their shared experience of being locked up in prison.

Helen Ukpabio demands N200bn damages in defamation suit against Bloody Civilian
Helen Ukpabio, the founder of Liberty Gospel Church, has demanded N200 billion in damages from the singer Bloody Civilian after the latter alleged that she encourages child lynching.
Earlier on Friday, Bloody Civilian, born Emoseh Khamofu, had alleged that Ukpabio “literally made people burn their children alive”.
Khamofu commented on a post celebrating the cleric’s 60th birthday.
She also posted a YouTube documentary wherein Ukpabio’s methods and ideology were criticised.
Reacting to her tweet, Imabong, Ukpabio’s daughter, threatened to take legal action against Khamofu if she didn’t delete the post.
“I give you the next five hours to take this down, or I will educate you in court!” Imabong wrote.
But in a letter from her legal representative, Ukpabio described the allegations as “reckless, satanic, and libellous”.
She demanded that the singer issue a retraction and public apology on all social media platforms and ten national and international dailies within 72 hours.
The cleric also requested that the singer pay N200 billion as “damages for distress, trauma, pain and anguish”.
The letter added that the demands must be met in 72 hours.
She claimed the allegations had been investigated by the police and have been concluded to be “grossly false”.
“Our client’s attention has been drawn to your reckless, satanic, and libellous posts on X (formerly Twitter), one of the world’s largest social media platforms,” the letter reads in part.
Responding to the letter, Blood Civilian made light of it by teasing that she is offering other services like comedy to afford the damages.
“This December I will be adding the following to my services: weddings, standup comedy and settling disputes,” she wrote.

Plantashun Boiz attempted reunions failed because I wasn’t invited, says Blackface
Blackface, the Nigerian dancehall singer, says Plantashun Boiz, a defunct music group, multiple attempts to reunite failed because he was not included.
Formed in 2000 with 2Baba and Faze, Plantashun Boiz disbanded in 2004 but briefly reunited in 2007 for an album.
In a recent episode of the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast, the host asked Blackface if there was any chance that the group might come back together.
The singer disclosed that his colleagues had attempted to reunite without him but were unsuccessful.
“Without me, they have tried and they have failed. Many times. You saw them in all those shows that they were going,” he said.
“They tried but they failed. But what I must say is I’m the plantation. So let it be known. Forget the fake memo that they spread before.”
In September, Blackface called for the reunion of the defunct music group.
He urged fans to join the mission, emphasising that “unity is strength, not division”.
“My people oya make una talk put mouth for this matter! We are on a mission for world peace and it’s not a small-time thing,” he said in pidgin English.
Since 2015, Blackface constantly tackled 2Baba for recording 2004 hit ‘African Queen’ which he claimed he wrote.
In 2017, he argued that 2Baba “sabotaged” his career in the music industry.

Despite feud, Peter Okoye celebrates Paul on 43rd birthday
Peter ‘Mr P’ Okoye, the Nigerian singer, has celebrated Paul ‘Rudeboy’ Okoye, his twin brother, on their 43rd birthday amid their ongoing feud.
The twin brothers have been in the public eyes since their second fallout in August.
They had their first rift in 2017 which led to the dissolution of Psquare, their music brand. Though they reunited in November 2021, their reconciliation was short-lived.
Paul recently revealed another fallout, accusing Peter of orchestrating his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Peter, however, denied the allegations and accused Jude Okoye, their older brother, of diverting millions of dollars from their joint account into a secret company.
Responding to the accusations, Jude said he had done everything possible, even “sacrificing himself,” to mend the rift between his brothers.
In an Instagram post on Monday, Peter shared several photos showcasing their growth over the years.
He also celebrated their birthday while wishing himself as well as his twin brother more wins.
