It's not ideal Davido owes people and is being embarrassed

In a chat with one of the singer's numerous fans, Adetutu Bankole @tutubankz, she shared her opinion on Davido owing Abu Salami and others money.

In her words:

"Honestly, it is not ideal that Davido is owing people all over the place. However, we can't judge based on a one-sided story. We need to hear from both parties involved to really know the actual reason for his actions. There's definitely no smoke without fire."
