A video capturing a moment of pure confusion by Israel DMW, the well-known logistics manager and close aide to Afrobeats superstar Davido, has set social media ablaze with laughter. The incident occurred as the pair were leaving a recent concert headlined by Davido.
The Viral Moment of Confusion
In the widely circulated clip, Israel DMW is seen walking out of the venue closely behind his boss, Davido, who is flanked by security. As they navigate through the massive crowd, Israel appears to momentarily lose his bearings. Attempting to keep pace with Davido, he suddenly veers off in a different direction, seemingly taking a wrong turn before realizing his mistake and quickly correcting his path to rejoin the entourage.
The short but highly amusing clip focuses on Israel's visibly confused expression, which has left many in stitches. The moment perfectly encapsulates a relatable slip-up, albeit under the bright lights of a major celebrity event.
Netizens React: From Mockery to Defence
The video quickly sparked a flood of reactions across platforms like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). While many found the moment hilarious and poked fun at Israel's lost look, others came to his defence, praising his dedication to his job.
Some users, like @goldudechukwu, humorously noted, "Oga dey go left you dey go right." Others made playful references to possible intoxication, with comments like "Juju don shayo loose guard?" from @olusoji_.
However, a significant number of commentators defended Israel DMW's actions. User @shanti_ace questioned, "What is wrong with him doing his job? Do y'all just like to mock people or what?" Similarly, @lyn_signature stated, "He's working for his pay. There's dignity in labour!" and @abla_abenaagbemi suggested, "Probably thought there was another road there...just a man doing his job."
Context: Israel DMW's Relationship with Davido
This incident highlights the close, yet often publicly scrutinized, relationship between the logistics manager and the music icon. Israel DMW, whose real name is Israel Afeare, is frequently seen alongside Davido at major events.
Earlier in the year, in May 2025, Israel publicly praised Davido for his lavish lifestyle, expressing eternal gratitude to his boss in an Instagram post from a private jet. He has also credited Davido for facilitating his travels, including obtaining a U.S. visa, which he compared to "Heaven," and for his first-ever trip to France.
Prior to this viral moment, Legit.ng had reported on Israel's presence at the high-profile funeral of Chief (Mrs) Florence Saraki, mother of former Senate President Bukola Saraki, which took place at the Eko Hotel in Lagos on Friday, July 19, 2025. He was spotted among other governors, politicians, and prominent figures.
The logistics manager has also been in the news for personal revelations. In a past interview with Daddy Freeze, he disclosed that his ex-wife, Sheila Courage, had complained about his bedroom skills during their marriage—a confession that also drew significant public attention.
The viral concert exit video, while brief, has once again placed Israel DMW at the centre of online discourse, demonstrating the intense public fascination with the lives and sometimes mundane mishaps of those in the orbit of Nigeria's biggest music stars.
