Shockwaves in Afrobeats: Wizkid’s Associate Tufab Accuses Davido of Threatening His Life in Explosive Social Media Rant

The Nigerian music industry has once again been thrown into the spotlight for reasons outside of music as a shocking allegation surfaced online, sending fans and industry insiders into a frenzy. In what appears to be one of the most explosive claims in recent times, Wizkid’s associate, Tufab, popularly known as Dr Fab, took to social media to make a startling declaration about his safety and well-being. In a lengthy and emotional post, he alleged that his life is under serious threat and that if anything happens to him, Davido, one of Nigeria’s biggest Afrobeats stars, should be held responsible. His words were not only bold but alarming, sparking endless conversations about the dark side of fame, rivalry, and power in the entertainment industry.

Tufab, who is known in the Afrobeats scene as a close ally of Wizkid and a vibrant personality in his own right, declared in no uncertain terms that he has been receiving threats too numerous to ignore. His statement read more like a desperate cry for help than a casual outburst, and the screenshots he shared seemed to suggest that the threats came directly from someone allegedly using Davido’s name. “MY LIFE IS IN DANGER. I’M BEING THREATENED!” he wrote emphatically. “If you talk you go kpai, if you no talk you go still kpai. I’ve kept quiet long enough and I’m about to set it straight for the whole of today. Get ready. I’m bringing this to the general public as a disclaimer against my personality.”

The post immediately sent shockwaves across social media, with fans struggling to make sense of the development. For an industry that thrives on star power, collaborations, and sometimes heated but friendly rivalries, the idea of one superstar allegedly threatening the life of an associate of another was both shocking and disturbing. Tufab continued his outpouring by clarifying that he has no ties to cult groups or fraternities, dismissing any suggestions that his claims could be rooted in such affiliations. “First of all, let me say I am not affiliated with any cult or fraternity and I don’t have a problem with anyone who is, because they are who they are and I’m who I am. I’m an army of God and chosen one of Christ. God is my fortress. Psalm 91 vs 2,” he wrote, adding a spiritual undertone to his cry for help.

The gravity of his accusations intensified when he shared what appeared to be a chat exchange, allegedly with Davido. The conversation reflected a heated back-and-forth with phrases like, “My name is not Osakpolo, I’m warning you” and “U be bird I be aye, make we play the game,” sparking speculation that there might be more at play than what meets the eye. While it remains unclear whether the messages truly came from Davido or someone posing as him, the screenshots have already ignited heated debates across social platforms, with some demanding investigations and others dismissing it as a publicity stunt.

Tufab, however, remained firm in his conviction that the threats were real and deliberate. “But as you can see in this screenshot, I am being threatened and this is not the first time, it’s now becoming too often. I don’t know what game he is talking about but I have seen these kinds of things play out many times both in the real world and movies. My life is under threats and if anything happens to me, y’all know who to hold responsible. The only reason I’m doing this is to protect myself,” he warned. His words carried an eerie weight, a sense of foreboding that left fans unsettled.

Almost immediately after his revelations, reactions began to pour in from every corner of the Nigerian entertainment space. Some fans rallied behind him, urging authorities to step in and take the matter seriously before it escalates. Others dismissed it outright, arguing that Davido, with his global stature and packed schedule, would have no reason to engage in such antics. A section of fans even accused Tufab of clout chasing, pointing out that the timing of the allegations, in the heat of ongoing industry rivalries, seemed suspicious. Still, the seriousness in his tone and the religious undertones he invoked made it difficult to completely brush aside.

For Davido, who has been known both for his chart-topping hits and his occasional public controversies, this new twist could not have come at a worse time. The singer, already navigating an industry that thrives on constant drama and competition, now finds his name being associated with threats of violence — an allegation that could dent his reputation if not addressed promptly. While he has yet to release an official statement responding to the claims, many believe the weight of Tufab’s accusations warrants urgent clarification.

The Nigerian music industry has witnessed its fair share of rivalries, from lyrical battles to social media spats, but allegations of direct threats to life elevate the stakes to a whole new level. It paints a picture of an industry where behind the glitz and glamour, there may be undercurrents of hostility and personal feuds capable of spiraling out of control. The growing rivalry narrative between the camps of Wizkid and Davido only adds fuel to the fire, with fans on both sides quick to defend their favorites while tearing down the opposition.

Tufab’s decision to take the matter public rather than handle it quietly suggests that he feels genuinely endangered. His words carried a sense of urgency and fear that many could not ignore. “If anything happens to me, y’all know who to hold responsible,” he reiterated, almost like a final testament. For many, this statement alone was chilling enough to demand that authorities investigate. In a country where celebrities often serve as role models and influencers, such public claims risk normalizing a dangerous culture of threats and intimidation if left unchecked.

As the story continues to unfold, questions linger. Was this truly a direct threat from Davido or a case of impersonation? Is Tufab genuinely under threat or simply amplifying a misunderstanding? Could this be another chapter in the long-running rivalry that has pitted the two biggest Afrobeats camps against each other for years? Whatever the case may be, one thing is certain: the eyes of fans, media, and industry players are firmly fixed on this unfolding saga, waiting for clarity, resolution, and hopefully, peace.

For now, the Afrobeats community remains on edge, unsure of where the truth lies but fully aware that such allegations, whether true or false, have the potential to disrupt the unity and global appeal of Nigeria’s biggest cultural export. Until Davido or his camp issues an official statement, the public is left with Tufab’s chilling words ringing in their ears — a reminder of how fragile fame and safety can be in the high-stakes world of entertainment
