Davido generated controversy last year when a video showed him swatting a fan’s phone away during Mohbad’s Candlelight ceremony, as the fan tried to take a photo of him.
In February, Davido’s bodyguard, Lati, faced criticism after a video surfaced showing him physically assaulting a fan. Following the backlash, Lati reportedly apologized and offered compensation of N200,000 (approximately $500 USD) to the victim, in an effort to make amends for his actions.
Anita Joseph condemned the incident, labeling it “unfair” and inquiring about the motivation behind Lati’s actions, seeking clarity on what provoked the assault on the fan.
Mr. Macaroni, a popular skit maker and content creator, strongly condemned the video, expressing deep sadness and disappointment. He described the physical assault on the fan as “condemnable” and “dehumanizing”, emphasizing the need for respect and dignity towards all individuals.
Mr. Macaroni emphasized the importance of mutual respect between celebrities and fans, cautioning fans to respect celebrities’ privacy while reminding celebrities to treat their fans with dignity and respect, highlighting that respect is a two-way thing.
