Nigerian Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has accused his logistics manager, Israel DMW, of leaking one of his unreleased songs on social media.
The allegation surfaced in a now-viral video, where the singer explained why the track never made it onto his album.
According to Davido, he decided to remove the song after Israel repeatedly played it publicly despite being warned against doing so.
Speaking in the video, Davido said, “Israel spoiled the song. Israel was overplaying it. I warned him not to play it again, but two days after the warning, he posted it online. I later saw a video of him dancing with a towel while vibing to the song.”
The revelation comes amid ongoing speculation about a possible rift between Davido and Israel DMW, with fans linking the incident to the rumored fallout between the longtime associates.
