CurrentReport Blog In a recent twist of events, Nigerian singer Dammy Krane has taken to social media to mock his fellow artist Davido Adeleke, popularly known as Davido. This public taunt comes as Davido finds himself embroiled in a contentious custody battle with his former partner, Sophia Momodu.
The drama unfolded as Sophia Momodu filed a detailed 100-paragraph counter-affidavit opposing Davido’s bid for joint custody of their daughter. In her affidavit, Sophia recounted the heartbreaking incident where Davido lost his son, attributing it to negligence, and suggested this as a critical point in the ongoing custody dispute.
Dammy Krane, known for his outspoken nature, seized this opportunity to take a jab at Davido. He accused the “FEM” singer of facing karmic retribution for his alleged involvement in the death of his old friend, Tagbo Umeike. Tagbo tragically passed away in 2017, with circumstances surrounding his death raising suspicions and drawing significant public and media attention. Although Davido was cleared of any wrongdoing by the authorities, the incident left a lasting impact on the public and those close to Tagbo.
In a series of charged social media posts, Dammy Krane claimed that the untimely death of Tagbo’s mother, who passed away within the same year, was a direct result of her grief and overthinking caused by her son’s demise. He insinuated that Davido had used his wealth and influence to suppress the true circumstances surrounding Tagbo’s death, leading to further suffering for those involved.
“You will continue to feel pain @davido as long as you hurt people,” Dammy Krane wrote. “You know the pain Tagbo’s mum felt when she lost her only child & you used the money to cover the case. She later died the same year as a result of the tragedy pain & overthinking. Ur karma is here — industry landlord.”
Dammy Krane’s harsh words did not stop there. He went on to issue a dire warning to anyone who might criticize his stance or come to Davido’s defense, wishing the same fate that befell Tagbo’s mother upon them.
“Ps: anybody that comes under my comment to say rubbish will feel the same pain Tagbo’s mother felt before the end of this year amin ase,” he added.

The death of Tagbo Umeike remains a poignant memory in the Nigerian entertainment scene. Despite the controversies and investigations, the incident has continued to haunt those involved, directly or indirectly.
