Just when we thought the controversies in the entertainment industry were not so intense this year, another saga has just been unveiled.
Recall in 2023, Nigerian superstar, Davido gifted his aide, Israel DMW, a 2009 Toyota Venza, valued at N6.5 million from celebrity car dealer,
IVD. Now, fresh allegations stem from the fact that Davido did not pay the entire cost of the car he purchased and still has an outstanding debt of N5.5 million as he has only paid N1 million so far.
The Controversy Resurfaces
Earlier in 2024, controversial and self-acclaimed relationship expert, Blessing Okoro aka, Blessing CEO revealed that Davido had not completed the payments for the car he bought. She called out the singer to pay up his debts at the time.
However, IVD, the car dealer, took to social media to deny the accusations, stating that Davido had cleared his bills. He also tendered an apology to Blessing for not updating her when the p[payments were finally made.
However, months after publicly denying any debt, IVD now appears to have made a dramatic U-turn.
In a viral audio clip circulating online, the car dealer alleges that Davido still owes him the remaining N5.5 million. In the audio, IVD details his repeated attempts to recover the balance.
He claims that every time he contacted Davido’s team, he was instructed to provide his account details. Despite complying with these requests, IVD alleges that no payments have been made.
“He only paid N1 million out of the N6.5 million,” IVD lamented, adding that the debt has become a source of frustration.
Online Reactions and Davido’s Response
This development has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with fans and observers speculating about the nature of the alleged debt. Some question the credibility of IVD’s claims, given his earlier denial, while others call for Davido to address the situation publicly.
The singer or his team has not officially responded to the claims by IVD. This has further fueled the speculation if there is any truth in the whole matter. The ongoing drama between Davido and IVD adds another layer to the artist’s numerous controversies, keeping fans glued to unfolding events.
Conclusion
Whether IVD’s accusations will compel Davido to respond remains uncertain. However, the re-emergence of this dispute underscores the volatile dynamics of celebrity dealings in Nigeria’s entertainment space.
As the story develops, one can only hope for an amicable resolution that puts the matter to rest. For now, the buzz around IVD’s claims continues to dominate conversations online, ensuring this is yet another chapter in the never-ending saga of celebrity drama.
