On April 23rd, 2023, Davido performed at his Timeless event in Lagos, Nigeria’s Tafewa Balewa Square. The much-anticipated concert attracted a sizable gathering of music lovers and Afrobeat fans. However, things took a surprising turn when a fanatical Davido fan rushed towards Davido and the bouncers pulled down his pants on stage.
The event happened when Davido performed his hit song “Fia,”. When the fan ascended the stage and approached the performer. Davido’s security crew quickly moved in to eject him from the stage as soon as he got within striking distance of the singer.
The security staff eventually had to take the overly enthusiastic fan off the platform because he wouldn’t go. The fan was dragged off stage with his pants down, displaying his buttocks to the entire crowd.
Video of the incident has gained popularity on social media sites. Many people were astonished and horrified by the fan’s actions and others condemned Davido’s security staff for addressing the incident in an overly forceful manner.
Others, however, countered that given the possible threat the fan posed to Davido and the other performers on stage, the security staff was forced to use force.
The Timeless event was a huge success and Davido’s performance was highly regarded by both critics and fans despite the controversy surrounding the incident. The tragedy served as a reminder of the value of event security and the necessity for performers and their staff to take precautions for both their own safety and the safety of their fans.
In conclusion, the tragic occurrence at the Timeless event where an enthusiastic Davido fan was dragged on stage with his pants down served as a reminder of the value of security at significant gatherings. It has sparked criticism and controversy, but it also served as a reminder of the necessity to protect musicians and attendees at concerts and other major gatherings.
