The online community has been buzzing with reactions following a video circulating on social media, depicting an altercation between a fan and Davido's aide, identified as Lati DMW.
Shared on social media (X) on Tuesday, February 13, 2024, by user @temitopepr, the footage captures the moment when the aide allegedly punched a fan attempting to take a picture with the renowned singer.
While Davido was seen walking alongside his entourage, the fan, visibly excited to meet his idol, persisted in capturing a video and chanting Davido's name. Despite being pushed away once, the fan persisted in his pursuit, only to be met with a forceful blow from the aide, pushing him out of frame.
However, it's not just the incident itself that's garnered attention, but also the response from fans and celebrities alike. Popular Nigerian comedian, Mr. Macaroni took to his X account to express his disappointment, condemning the assault as unnecessary and dehumanizing. He urged fans to seek permission before approaching celebrities for photos, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect.
Meanwhile, reactions poured in from various quarters as a lot of people questioned the necessity of fans getting too close for photos, sparking discussions about boundaries in fan-celebrity interactions.
As the incident continues to stir conversations on social media, others observed Davido's lack of reaction, prompting further speculation about the dynamics of fan encounters with celebrities and the need for mutual respect in such interactions.

Please, if you must take pictures with any of your favorite celebrity, kindly seek permission so that you are not seen as a threat. Respect is reciprocal.
We must respect the privacy of our celebrities and Celebrities must also learn to treat our fans with respect and dignity.
