Nigerian artist David Adedeji Adeleke, alias Davido, has revealed that he is suing a Kenyan media house after a story about his alleged arrest at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
In a statement dated Tuesday, April 2, the musician stated that he did not appreciate the story, which was presented as part of the broadcaster’s April Fools’ Day editorial offering.
He went on to say that the allegations tainted his name and brand, and that he had not been arrested as reported.
Davido also stated that he had already contacted his legal team, who will be handling the matter on his behalf.
“I’d also like to note that I have never been arrested by anyone in any country for any crime in the world. Not my home Nigeria, my home America, or any of the hundreds of countries I’ve made home throughout my career.
“I find the fabrication of allegations of such international crimes extremely irresponsible regardless of the light of ‘April Fools’, and my lawyer is seeking legal recourse against the media parties responsible for generating this misinformation,” he stated.
