Nigerian music sensation Davido is taking legal action over a Kenyan April Fool’s joke gone wrong.
The prank falsely claimed he was arrested in Kenya for cocaine possession on his private jet.
Davido, who just wrapped up a tour in East Africa, slammed the fake report as “irresponsible.”
He emphasized he’s never been arrested anywhere. The joke sparked outrage, prompting Kenya’s authorities to label it “Fake News.”
Davido’s lawyer is pursuing legal action against those behind the misinformation.
This incident highlights the serious consequences of spreading false information, even on April Fools’ Day.
The BBC reported on Davido’s response to the prank, emphasizing the need for accountability in media reporting.
