Nigerian singer Dammy Krane has made some serious allegations against fellow musician Davido. In a social media video, Krane claimed that Davido uses his money and influence to hide his “evil deeds.” Krane specifically brought up the death of Tagbo, a friend of Davido’s who died in 2017.
Krane alleges that Davido pressured Tagbo to drink too much alcohol and then left him alone in a car, which led to his death. Davido has not yet responded to these accusations. The police investigation into Tagbo’s death concluded it was due to alcohol poisoning, but there were questions raised about the events leading up to his death.

Luis Rubiales, the former president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), was arrested on Wednesday as part of a corruption investigation. He was released soon after being detained on arrival in Madrid from the Dominican Republic. He is suspected of receiving illegal commissions when negotiating a lucrative deal to stage the Spanish Super Cup competition in Saudi Arabia. Prosecutors are seeking a two-and-a-half-year jail term. Rubiales denies any wrongdoing.
After stepping off the plane, he was taken into a black van with several members of the Civil Guard. He was released soon after. Rubiales was in the Dominican Republic when police searched his home last month. They also searched the football federation headquarters and made several arrests. Rubiales is also separately due to go on trial for sexual assault for kissing the player Jenni Hermoso on the mouth after last summer’s World Cup final.
