Imagine the thrill – seeing your favorite celeb, Davido in this case, and wanting that epic selfie to remember the moment. Next thing you know, boom! You’re on the ground, courtesy of his right-hand man, Lati. Yeah, that’s what went down recently, leaving everyone, including comedian Mr. Macaroni, reeling.
Videos of the incident show Lati unleashing not just one, but two physical attacks on fans trying to get close to Davido. Not cool, says Mr. Macaroni, his voice echoing the disappointment of many. “This is sad and highly condemnable!” he blasts on social media. “There’s absolutely no need for this assault. It’s dehumanizing, and I know exactly how that feels.”
Remember Mr. Macaroni’s hilarious yet poignant skits addressing social issues? He’s using that same power to call for a reality check. He gets the excitement of meeting your idol, but fans shouldn’t feel like they’re invading personal space. “If you must take pictures,” he suggests, “kindly seek permission. Respect goes both ways.”
It got intense!!!
But wait, it doesn’t stop there. Mr. Macaroni throws the mic back to the celebs, reminding them that fame comes with responsibility. “We love our stars,” he says, “but that doesn’t mean treating fans like intruders. Treat them with respect, because without them, where’s the fame?”
The internet is buzzing. Some defend Davido, citing security concerns. Others, like Mr. Macaroni, stand firm: assault is never okay. His voice, combined with the online chatter, makes it clear – this isn’t just about a punch or a slap. It’s about striking a balance between the excitement of fandom and the responsibility of fame.
Davido’s response is awaited, but one thing’s certain: Mr. Macaroni has dropped the mic, and it’s echoing a question we all need to answer. Can we create a space where love for celebrities doesn’t translate to fear of their inner circle? Can mutual respect bridge the gap between the glitz and the fans? As the story unfolds, Mr. Macaroni’s call for understanding reminds us – respect, like fame, shines brighter when shared.

Please, if you must take pictures with any of your favorite celebrity, kindly seek permission so that you are not seen as a threat. Respect is reciprocal.
We must respect the privacy of our celebrities and Celebrities must also learn to treat our fans with respect and dignity.— Mr Macaroni (@mrmacaronii) February 13, 2024
