A Benin City-based female barber has ignited a social media storm after sharing a video from a club encounter with Afrobeats superstar Davido, with her caption drawing sharp criticism from fans who accused her of inappropriate intentions toward the married singer.
Club Encounter Sparks Controversy
The barber, who goes by the Instagram handle @clipperchics_aura and identifies as a 30BG fan, happened to be at the same nightclub as David Adeleke during his visit to Benin City. Davido had traveled to the city to attend the burial ceremony of his aide Israel DMW's father before heading out for the evening. In the clip she uploaded, Davido is seen glancing back in her direction twice. She took the moment and ran with it.
Her caption read: "The moment Davido OBO noticed something worth seeing, he wasted no time adjusting his seat. Still on the bucket list. I'll let destiny handle the introduction."
Backlash Over 'Bucket List' Remark
The post drew immediate and pointed reactions. Many commenters interpreted her "bucket list" remark as an inappropriate reference to the singer, who is married. Rather than backing down, the barber doubled down in a follow-up comment on the same post.
"I love you OBO ? @davido still looking forward to ticking my bucket list ??. Thank you all for your misconceptions. I hope they fuel my greatness. ? And please, by all means, continue crying more than the bereaved. ??," she wrote.
Amid the heat, the barber updated her Instagram bio, stating that she intended to cut the singer's hair, contrary to fans' insinuations. She wrote: "On my bucket list is cutting Davido’s hair ?? ? @davido."
