Dubai authorities arrest Davido for allegedly fighting, stabbing man three times with broken bottle
Nigerian hip-pop artiste, Davido, has allegedly been arrested in Dubai after reportedly fighting in a restaurant in the United Arab Emirates city.
The singer, who recently welcomed a son with his fiancee, Chioma Rowland, was alleged to have stabbed a young man, identified simply as Michael, aka Dream Chaser, who is said to be the younger brother of Abu Abel, the CEO of Obimzy Records, with a broken bottle three times in the altercation.
A WhatsApp chat leak indicated that the incident happened at a popular Restaurant and Lounge in Dubai, called Crab Market.
It was gathered that tension rose when the victim was trying to interact with an allegedly tipsy Davido inside the elevator, but he took it wrongly and broke a bottle on his head.
The cops were subsequently called in and the singer was whisked away around 7 am, while the victim was rushed to the Kuwait hospital, Deira.
Davido’s manager, Asa, missed his scheduled flight due to the incident.
The singer’s social media pages have since been taken over by his management so has to keep it active while the issue is being resolved. It remains to be seen whether the victim will be pressing charges or allow the cops free Davido.
Eyewitnesses confirmed that Wizkid, Tiwa, and Naira Marley were also at the venue. They were said to have left Crab Market quickly after the Ambulance and Police showed up.
