Nigerian superstar singer, Davido, has responded after his junior colleague, Cheque publicly apologized over a viral video in which he appeared to disrespect his wife, Chioma.
Cheque, a Nigerian singer and songwriter whose real name is Akanbi Bamidele Brett, a few days ago triggered heavy backlash online following a freestyle video he posted.
Cheque was seen in the video, seemingly admiring Davido’s wife, Chioma’s pictures on his phone while singing a love song to her.
He had slid past Davido and his wife, Chioma’s photo and when he got to a picture of Chioma alone, he zoomed in on it and kept singing.
This gesture sparked controversy among fans and followers, with many stating that zooming in on Chioma’s picture and singing to her was disrespectful.
