Davido cancelled his US tour…came back from the US and had a show or 2 in Nigeria….that was some very selfish reckless move. 🙄

Oh shit!! Davido’s fiancé, Chioma has tested positive for Covid-19 ! 😩
Apparently she’s not showing any symptoms but David has decided to go into isolation for 14 days.
They were all at Mayorkun’s crib for his birthday. The whole DMW crew needs to self isolate rn! No joke!!
