Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, has unfollowed Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo on Instagram following a leaked WhatsApp conversation that has stirred controversy online.

The fallout began after controversial social media critic, VeryDarkMan, released screenshots of a private chat where Iyabo Ojo accused Davido of being insincere in his support for the late singer Mohbad.

In the messages shared by VeryDarkMan on Instagram, Iyabo Ojo expressed disappointment in Davido for continuing to follow embattled singer Naira Marley on social media despite publicly claiming to support the Justice for Mohbad movement.

“My problem is not even with that black whatever, it is Davido who flew down like he claimed to fight for justice, but he still dey follow Naira Marley,” she wrote.

“That means he was chasing clout. I’m so disappointed and to think he has been saying he is the only superstar artist who stood by Mohbad. Just fake love 001.”

In what appeared to be a response to her remarks, Davido has now unfollowed the actress on Instagram. However, checks show that Iyabo Ojo is still following him.

Mohbad, a fast-rising music artist, died in September 2023 under controversial circumstances, prompting a nationwide outcry.

Several celebrities including Davido, Falz, and Zlatan participated in candlelight vigils and protests demanding justice for the late singer.

Iyabo Ojo played a leading role in the campaign and reportedly created a WhatsApp group to coordinate advocacy efforts.

In a recent interview, she admitted she regretted pushing for Mohbad’s body to be exhumed for autopsy.

The fallout between Davido and Ojo marks another twist in the ongoing conversation surrounding Mohbad’s tragic death and the call for justice. (Nigerian Tribune)
