Afrobeats superstar, Davido has fired back at claims that he owes a wedding planner $50,000 (about ₦XX million) for unpaid services, sparking fresh controversy online.
The issue began when a popular event planner publicly alleged that the Afrobeats icon failed to settle a bill after hiring the company for a high-profile event. The planner’s statement quickly spread across Instagram, Twitter (now X), and entertainment news sites.
What the Wedding Planner Claims
According to the planner’s post, Davido contracted their services for an exclusive event but refused to complete payment of $50,000, despite reminders and attempts to resolve the matter privately.
The post included screenshots of conversations and payment reminders, which many fans shared widely across social media platforms.
Davido’s Reaction
Davido did not stay silent. Taking to his verified social media accounts, he responded angrily to the claims, denying that he owes the planner the money and calling the allegations false and misleading.
In his posts, he emphasized that he always honors his professional agreements and hinted that the wedding planner’s claims were an attempt to gain attention at his expense.
“I don’t owe anybody money. Let’s keep business professional,” one of his responses read.

Social media users have been divided since the dispute went public:
- Supporters of Davido argue that financial disagreements are normal in the entertainment and events industry, and that the planner might be misunderstanding the situation.
