Afrobeats superstar Davido sparked intense debate online after abruptly stopping his performance to confront a fan who brought a newborn baby into a densely packed concert crowd.
The incident took place in Umuahia, Abia State, during a recent leg of his ongoing tour, where fans had turned up in droves to witness the electrifying performer live on stage. As Davido thrilled the audience with his hit single Ogechi, the atmosphere was charged with excitement until a startling sight caught the singer’s attention mid-song.
In a now-viral video making the rounds on social media, the singer was seen suddenly halting his performance after noticing a woman in the crowd holding a baby. The fan appeared to be struggling for air as she clutched the infant tightly amidst the densely packed audience.
Visibly alarmed and angered by the situation, Davido didn’t hold back. He addressed the fan directly from the stage, calling out the recklessness of bringing an infant into such an intense environment.
“Why you carry baby come? Are you crazy? Carry your baby comot! You are a wicked person!” the singer shouted, his voice echoing over the crowd. His outburst immediately drew mixed reactions.
While a section of the audience erupted in applause, commending him for prioritizing the child’s safety, others took to social media to suggest that the superstar could have expressed his concern with more composure.
Still, many praised Davido for not ignoring the potentially dangerous scenario, pointing out the risks associated with exposing a newborn to a loud, crowded, and potentially chaotic setting.
As the clip continues to trend, the conversation has grown beyond music circles, sparking debates around parenting choices, concert safety, and the responsibility of both fans and event organizers.
