- 30BG fans disciplined a lady who mocked the artist’s new album using his dead son, Ifeanyi, through physical discipline.
- A lady who believed she was a Wizkid fan recently criticized Davido’s 5ive album’s failure on Twitter.
Reports have emerged that some fans of Afrobeat star Davido, known collectively as 30BG, allegedly assaulted a lady who made a cruel comment involving the artist’s late son, Ifeanyi, while mocking his new album.
The controversy began when the woman, identified as Arike and claiming to be a Wizkid supporter, took to Twitter to ridicule Davido’s recently released 5ive album. In reaction to a post by Charts Africa celebrating Davido’s appearance at number 24 on the Worldwide Apple Music Albums chart, Arike retweeted with an insensitive remark, comparing the album’s performance to the tragic drowning of Davido’s late son.
Her comment quickly sparked outrage online, with many condemning her for her callousness. Following the backlash, a Twitter user and apparent 30BG member later claimed that Arike was physically confronted, her phone was seized, and her social media accounts were deactivated.
The user posted:
“UPDATE ‼️‼️
Arike was picked up yesterday and beaten.
Her phone was collected from her, and we made sure we deleted everything in her account. This account doesn’t exist again.
I hope others will learn from this.”
The incident has drawn mixed reactions online, with some calling for justice and others viewing it as a harsh lesson.
