Afrobeats superstar Davido may dominate music charts, but TikTok Live proved to be a different challenge during a recent session. A video clip from a multi-way livestream, shared on Instagram on Tuesday, 4 August 2026, has gone viral, showing the singer struggling to navigate the platform's basic controls.
The footage captured a four-way split-screen call featuring Davido alongside participants with usernames "Don Baba," "Masarati," and "Sandra Benede." During the session, Davido appeared to be attempting to remove certain participants from the call but could not figure out how to do so.
Davido's Confusion Unfolds
As Davido fumbled with the controls, content creator Sandra Benede stepped in to guide him. However, her instructions, referencing arrows, circles, and a blue-and-pink button combination at the bottom of the screen, only added to the confusion. At one point, Benede admitted, "I can't even teach you from here, David. You have to do it on your own."
The clip quickly drew reactions online, with fans finding the situation hilarious. User @iamsanch3z commented, "Baba just Dey crash out," while @xtrimfotos noted, "Omo..... live streaming go really dey expose some people o, see how he was shouting at his fans just cos of money." Others like @pink.lips.balm joked, "Old age?" and @braimohpreshy observed, "Meanwhile the others were just happy to see him on live, everything na mindset???"
Fan Reactions and Broader Context
The video has sparked widespread amusement, with many fans pointing out that even celebrities can struggle with technology. This incident comes amid other recent news involving Davido, including his pointed jab at NURTW president MC Oluomo regarding a dispute with Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke. In an Instagram story post on Monday, 27 July 2026, Davido wrote in pidgin English: "@kingmcoluomo dem say u Dey game ... I doubt lol look ur mirror."
Davido's TikTok mishap serves as a reminder that even the most successful artists are not immune to the learning curves of social media platforms. Despite the initial confusion, the moment has endeared him to fans, showcasing a relatable side of the superstar.
