“I and four others were paid to ridicule Davido, Chioma” – Uche Maduagwu tenders public apology

Controversial Nigerian entertainer Uche Maduagwu has issued a public apology to music star Davido and his wife, Chioma Adeleke, over his online attacks against them.

Maduagwu made the apology in a video posted on his Instagram page on Thursday, where he expressed remorse for deliberately trolling the couple on social media.

He admitted that he was paid ₦2.5 million to make disparaging posts about Davido and his family, revealing that four other Nigerian influencers were also involved in the coordinated trolling.

According to him, Davido had done nothing to deserve the attacks, and he now regrets his actions.

“I was paid to ridicule your wife and your family. I’m not the only one, we’re like five different influencers in Nigeria that were paid. And I’m urging other people that were paid to ridicule Davido to please come out, return the money they said you should use to criticise this guy.

“He has not done anything wrong. I want to apologise to Davido, please forgive me. I collected over N2 million to ridicule you and I’m sorry. Others please return the money they paid you please”, he stated.

Captioning the video he wrote; “God I’m in TEARS now, I just want @davido to Forgive me, we are 5 influencers paid to criticize Davido. Every criticism you constantly see about Davido and him IYAWO online was paid for. Can you people help me beg 001 to forgive me?”
