Nigerian singer Dammy Krane has once again sparked controversy by making serious allegations against international music star Davido, this time concerning the tragic death of Tagbo, Davido’s former associate. The latest development marks another chapter in what has become an increasingly complex and contentious relationship between the two artists.
Taking to both Instagram and Twitter, Dammy Krane made bold statements suggesting that Davido’s reluctance to pursue legal action against him is connected to the sensitive nature of Tagbo’s case. Clear conscience fears no accusation,” Krane declared in his social media posts, implying that legal proceedings would lead to revelations about the tragic incident.
This recent outburst follows a tumultuous history between the two artists, with their conflict originally stemming from alleged financial disputes. The situation has evolved far beyond the initial claims of unpaid debts, with Krane making increasingly serious allegations against Davido, particularly in the lead-up to the latter’s wedding in June when he made inflammatory accusations regarding Tagbo’s death.

The controversy had previously reached a critical point when Davido’s legal team issued Krane a 24-hour ultimatum to retract his statements and cease making defamatory comments. The situation escalated further in August when Krane faced arrest and potential criminal charges for his inflammatory statements. However, in a surprising turn of events, Davido chose to drop the charges, leading to Krane’s release.
Following his release, Krane had appeared to take a more conciliatory approach, acknowledging that he had made inappropriate statements and offering an apology. He specifically thanked social media personality Very Dark Man during this period, suggesting a moment of reflection on his actions. However, his latest statements indicate a return to confrontational rhetoric.
The ongoing dispute highlights the complex nature of relationships within Nigeria’s entertainment industry and the role of social media in amplifying personal conflicts. What began as a financial disagreement has evolved into a much more serious situation involving allegations about a tragic death, demonstrating how quickly such disputes can escalate in the age of social media.
The entertainment industry has been watching this situation closely, as it involves one of Africa’s biggest music stars and touches on sensitive issues that extend beyond typical industry disputes. The involvement of legal teams and criminal charges earlier in the year showed the serious nature of the allegations and their potential consequences.
This latest development comes at a time when Davido has been celebrating significant personal and professional achievements, including his recent wedding and continued international success. The timing and nature of Krane’s renewed allegations have raised questions about the motivations behind these public statements.
The situation also reflects broader issues within the entertainment industry regarding conflict resolution, social media use, and the handling of serious allegations. The back-and-forth nature of this dispute, playing out largely on social media platforms, has drawn attention to the need for more formal mechanisms for addressing industry conflicts.
Industry observers note that this type of public dispute can have far-reaching consequences for all parties involved, potentially affecting their professional relationships, public image, and career opportunities. The involvement of serious allegations regarding a death makes the situation particularly sensitive and complex.
As this situation continues to unfold, many in the industry are calling for a more measured approach to resolving conflicts, suggesting that public social media exchanges might not be the most appropriate forum for addressing such serious matters. The incident serves as a reminder of the responsibilities that come with social media platforms and the potential consequences of public allegations.
The entertainment community and fans alike are now watching to see how this situation will develop, particularly given the serious nature of the allegations and the previous legal interventions. The outcome of this renewed conflict could have significant implications for both artists and potentially set precedents for how similar disputes are handled in the future within Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
