Davido Removes Iyabo Ojo From Instagram Following Exposed Private Conversation
Iyabo Ojo and Nigerian music star Davido have found themselves at odds due to a public disagreement over the Justice for Mohbad campaign. The dispute arose when Iyabo accused Davido of chasing clout with the late singer Mohbad's case and being insincere in his support.
The controversy began when Iyabo expressed her frustration with Davido's actions, stating that he flew down to Nigeria to "fight for justice," but continued to follow Naira Marley on social media, whom she implied was connected to controversy surrounding Mohbad. This led to Davido unfollowing Iyabo Ojo on Instagram, though Iyabo continued to follow him.
The dispute escalated after a social media critic named VeryDarkMan leaked WhatsApp conversations where Iyabo expressed her views on Davido's involvement in the campaign, describing his actions as "fake love" and accusing him of using Mohbad's death to gain attention and clout. Iyabo was also known as one of the leading figures in the Justice for Mohbad campaign and had even opened a WhatsApp group to organize the movement.
This public disagreement reflects wider tensions within the Nigerian entertainment community about who is genuinely supporting the campaign for justice versus those perceived to be leveraging the situation for personal or social media gain.
It is worth noting that Davido has not been reported to have made any public statements about his decision to unfollow Iyabo Ojo. Many celebrities, including Davido, participated in candlelight events and social media campaigns demanding justice for Mohbad, which led to protests across the country.
Mohbad, a rising talent in the Nigerian music industry, passed away in September 2023 under unclear circumstances. The campaign for justice for Mohbad continues to gain momentum, with Iyabo Ojo and other advocates pushing for answers and accountability.
