Tiwa Savage files official complaint against Davido over alleged threats

Savage, in a petition addressed to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fayoade Adegoke, and circulating online, alleged that the ‘Unavailable’ hitmaker had threatened her over a social media post she made.

Tiwa has now asked the police boss to hold Davido responsible if anything untoward happened to her, adding that Davido had asked their mutual connections to warn her.

Savage explained that the misunderstanding may be connected to her relationship with Sophia Momodu, Davido’s baby mama, whom he (Davido) was having issues with.

Apparently, it all started after Tiwa Savage made an Instagram post which included herself and Sophia Momodu - Davido's estranged baby mother.

The petition reads: “I am writing to bring to your attention a distressing situation involving myself, Tiwatope Omolara Savage, popularly known as Tiwa Savage, and Mr David Adeleke popularly known as Davido."

"On the 23rd of December, I made a post which included myself and Sophía Momodu on my Instagram Story- a feature on Instagram which allows you to put up a post for twenty-four hours, and 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 to reach out to me especially as I felt like I had 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 1 did to Mr David Adeleke and 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.

"I therefore would like to make this complaint and state that in the event that anything untoward or harmful were to happen to me or any member of my family, I would like the members of the Nigerian Police Force to hold Mr David Adeleke responsible.”

On January 6, there was a buzz across Nigerian social media after both singers unfollowed each other on Instagram. This is despite the fact that both have been very cordial to each other in the past and the fact that both of their children are known to each other and not only attend the same school but have been seen enjoying each other's company in public.

Already, Nigerian blogs are publishing screenshots of alleged private confrontations between Davido and Tiwa Savage.

In one of the texts exchanged via Instagram DM, Davido is seen telling Tiwa, "Don't ever mention my son!"

And Tiwa is seen replying, "You are mad! Try it when you see me! God punish you! You are f**king messing with the wrong person!"
