Female Nigerian singer, Tiwa has filed a petition against the Afrobeats star, David Adeleke aka Davido, over alleged threats of assault.
The ‘Lova Lova’ crooner claims that the DMW boss is upset with her for maintaining a friendship with his first baby mama, Sophia Momodu.
Tiwa, in the petition dated 9th of January and addressed to the Lagos Commissioner of Police detailed how Davido allegedly sent derogatory, malicious, and threatening messages to her manager after she posted a picture with Sophia Momodu on her Instagram Story.
The songstress said it all started on December 23, and the words were so scary that she was forced to respond and ask him not to reach out to her.
She further disclosed that the situation escalated with calls and messages from mutual connections, questioning her relationship with Sophia Momodu, with Davido allegedly warning her to be careful in Lagos as he intended to “f**k [her] up.”
Tiwa, through her attorney told the police to hold Davido responsible if anything should happen to her or members of her family.
The petition reads partly; “MR. DAVID ADELEKE sent messages to my manager who’s also part of his management team that I shouldn’t worry and should never say a word to him and that I was taunting him, uttering very disrespectful, malicious and derogatory words to my person.
“I responded to MR. DAVID ADELEKE’s message and told him not to reach out to me especially as I feel like I have been there for him and his daughter, Imade and more importantly when he lost his son.
“The events of that day have also led to a barrage of calls and messages from our mutual connections, asking me what I did to MR. DAVID ADELEKE that he’s upset that I chose to maintain a relationship with Imade’s mother, Sophia Momodu who he’s having issues with.
“And also painting the exchange to look like I was the aggressor. He has also told our mutual connections to warn me to be careful in Lagos because he was going to f**k me up. This is beginning to feel like some form of online and offline harassment not just to me but also members of my team.
“The actions of MR. DAVID ADELEKE are unethical and can be viewed as a direct threat to my rights to life, privacy and dignity of my person as guaranteed in Chapter 4 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), And are also in contravention of Section 24(2)(a) of the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) Act, 2015.
“I therefore would like to make this complaint, and to state that in the event that anything untoward or harmful were to happen to me or any member of my family, I will like the members of the Nigerian Police Force to hold MR. DAVID ADELEKE responsible.”
