Tiwa Savage Submits Petition Against Davido Over Alleged Threats, Harassment

Nigerian music sensation Tiwatope Omolara Savage, professionally known as Tiwa Savage, has taken a significant step in addressing an alleged threat to her life and other actions that she claims infringed upon her fundamental human rights.

This move involves submitting a petition to the Nigeria Police Force in Lagos State against her colleague, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido.

In a detailed petition dated January 9, 2024, which was presented to the office of the Commissioner of Police in Lagos, Tiwa Savage accused Davido of various offenses, primarily centered around an Instagram post she made featuring one of his ‘baby mamas,’ Sophia Momodu.

According to the petition, Davido allegedly reacted negatively to this post, directing disrespectful and derogatory messages to Tiwa Savage.

The singer elaborated on the events that transpired on December 23, where she allegedly received messages from Davido expressing displeasure regarding the Instagram story featuring Sophia Momodu. Tiwa Savage claimed that Davido accused her of taunting him and responded with disrespectful and malicious language toward her.

In response to Davido’s messages, Tiwa Savage allegedly expressed her dissatisfaction and urged him not to reach out to her, especially given her past support for him during personal hardships, including the loss of his son.

The situation further escalated, leading to a chain of calls and messages from mutual connections, questioning Tiwa Savage’s relationship with Sophia Momodu and portraying her as the aggressor in the scenario. The petition alleges that Davido went as far as warning Tiwa Savage to be cautious in Lagos, threatening to “f**k her up.”

Tiwa Savage stated that these actions constitute online and offline harassment, potentially violating her constitutional rights to life, privacy, and dignity, as guaranteed in the Nigerian Constitution. She also highlighted a potential contravention of the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) Act, 2015.

This altercation has garnered attention on social media, particularly after both artists unfollowed each other on Instagram. Speculation arose, suggesting that the rift between them stemmed from Tiwa Savage’s growing friendship with Sophia Momodu, the mother of Davido’s daughter, Imade.

The involvement of Teebillz, Tiwa Savage’s former husband and talent manager, added to the controversy. Teebillz issued a warning to Davido, cautioning against disrespecting his family due to the ongoing issues between the musician and his ex-wife.
