On Friday night (13 November) MTV learned of the shocking and heart-breaking news that Nigerian superstar singer Davido was robbed at gun point in Sandon, South Africa. The three time MTV MAMAs winner was with his manager Kamal Ajiboye when armed men approached them taking a few chains, a $60,000 watch and £50,000 in cash. Davido's immediate reaction was to thank God for his life, clearly shaken up by the experience saying "I thank God for the lives of my friends and family"
He continued " That was the first time anybody put a gun to my head, that s**t was scary as hell"
A harrowing scenario as the star described how his 6 month old daughter's was all he thought about at the moment he had a gun pointed to his head.
Davido usually travels with an entourage, his HKN Gang and tight security. On the rare occasion that he failed to do so, such an incident occurred.
