During his conversation with the hosts of the show, he revealed that he and some others were chit-chatting and gossiping about another celebrity.

Shortly after, he got a message from one of his longtime friends, who had just sent him a clip of his comment about one of his colleagues.

However, he was given an ultimatum to send $40,000 or the clip would be released to the public. Davido said he called his sister, who then called the friend’s sister, who in turn called their mother. Three years later, the friend apologised for his behaviour towards him.

Laying emphasis on the money his friend demanded, Davido noted that his ‘boys’ make that in their worst weeks. They all laughed over it as the Afrobeat star continued with his interview.

Watch the video here:

TheTalk.NG reproted that Davido disclosed that he and Tiwa Savage once shared a home and described their bond as a sibling-like relationship rooted in mutual respect.

He clarified that past disagreements with Tiwa were minor, likening them to typical family squabbles, and insisted there was no deep-seated feud.

Responding to Tiwa Savage’s recent police petition against him, Davido maintained that their connection remained strong despite the legal escalation.

Davido angrily replies troll who dragged his father

According to a previous report on TheTalk.NG, Davido had barked back at a troll who commented on his father after he tweeted about police commissioner Umar Abba.

Recall that the singer angrily ranted online after he got wind of his uncle’s announcement about how ex-Osun governor, Gboyega Oyetola, had concluded plans to cause havoc in Osun.

An online user tweeted that many should not listen to people whose kids are scattered abroad, resulting in a heated response from the Afrobeat singer.
