Big Brother Naija reality star and DJ Handi Danbaki, widely known as Handi, has become the center of a heated online discussion following a dramatic incident during a live performance in Ibadan, Oyo State. The event, which took place on Sunday, April 26, 2029, saw Handi performing alongside her twin sister Wanni when a show-goer allegedly touched her inappropriately.

A man from the audience reportedly grabbed her by the chest, prompting an instant and forceful reaction. Handi struck the individual multiple times on the head before calmly resuming her performance.
Public Reaction and Support
The video, shared on Handi and Wanni's joint Instagram page, was accompanied by a message condemning the harassment of women. Many netizens, including Wanni, defended Handi's actions. Wanni commented, "God bless you my Queen Big H! Na koboko we go dey carry now!" Other reactions ranged from support to criticism, with some arguing that performers who dance provocatively near the crowd invite such behavior.
