Davido has finally responded to a fan who purportedly rode his bicycle for eight days from Benue to Lagos just to see him.
An X user shared photographs of a man riding a bicycle and clutching a poster of the music star in the early hours of Thursday.
According to the X user, the young man is a Davido fan who rode for eight days from Benue to Lagos to see the musician.
“A young man called @emmiwuks embarked on a Benue to #Lagos on a bicycle to meet #Afrobeat Superstar @davido. He is currently on Day 8 today,” the tweet reads.
The X user also called on people to retweet the tweet for the information to reach Davido.
The post quickly attracted massive engagement and has been seen over a million times.
In his reaction, however, Davido asked the fan embarking on the journey to turn back because he was not at home.
“Turn around,” said Davido. “I’m not home.”

The musician has established himself as one of the main figures in the African music industry, having received a slew of prizes and honorary mentions.
Davido recently announced a N237 million donation to several orphanage facilities across Nigeria.
He also “reaffirmed his commitment to continually assist the less privileged in any capacity”.
