Davido Says He Didn’t Sack His Long-Time Lawyer Over Embezzlement

Davido says he didn't sack Bobo over embezzlement | Fab.ng

Afrobeat music star Davido shut down rumours online that he fired his longtime lawyer, Bobo Ajudua, over missing money.

Davido himself took to his Instagram story on Thursday, May 16th, 2024, to clear the air. He confirmed that he and Ajudua are no longer working together but insisted there was no embezzlement involved. He urged people to ignore the rumours.

He said, “That was not the case at all! We are still very good friends! In business, things evolve and change all the time! Please disregard this narrative!”

Davido’s explanation sparked a flurry of responses from his fans on Instagram. People got talking!

A user commented, “In other words, bobo is not his lawyer anymore, I love how he cleared the air. In their words, they’re just good friends now,” and another fan expressed his approval, saying, “A wise man! Kept his house in order before killjoys push a narrative that isn’t true, thereby ruining what they have left in the relationship.”

“Davido don suffer for una hand una go just Dey carry fake rumours,” said a displeased fan. Another fan commented, “In other words, that’s not his lawyer anymore…”

Before Davido set the record straight, there were rumours swirling online. People were saying he fired his lawyer, Bobo Ajudua, while they were both in Dubai. The reason? Allegedly, Ajudua only gave back $30,000 out of a much larger sum of money, $400,000, that was entrusted to him.

The false report read, in part,

“According to sources, he fired the lawyer in Dubai and told him to go his way…Out of the $400K with Mr Lawyer, he allegedly returned only $30K and alleged that he settled some bills and paid for tickets…..Ticket? PLEASE!”

Ruby Akubueze wants to feature in a Marvel project | fab.ng

Ruby Akubueze, a Nollywood actress, aspires to be part of any Marvel Studios project under Disney Entertainment. She gained recognition for her role as Frances in the television series MTV Shuga. It explores the experiences of young individuals dealing with love, desire, and the complexities of maturing.

In an interview, Akubueze expressed her ambition to work on an international platform, particularly mentioning her desire to join a Marvel series. “I’ll pick any Marvel series; I have always wanted to be on a Marvel project,” she said.

Ruby Akubueze is well-known for portraying Oby in the 2023 Netflix film, Ijogbon.

Kunle Afolayan directed the movie. The movie revolves around four teenagers who stumble upon a bag of diamonds, leading to unexpected consequences. Akubueze described her role in Ijogbon as the most challenging one she has encountered in her acting career.

“It was a lot emotionally, physically, and given the time of the year we were filming, it was challenging because the sun was always scorching and we were always filming outdoors.

“We had like a few scenes indoors, and every day you wake up, we are filming outside and next thing is you would hear the director say, ‘Oh, so you guys are going to start running from here to here,’ and I am like ‘Oh my gosh, again!’

“Like we were always running, it was challenging but it was the most fun I had,” she said.

The 26-year-old talked about the actresses who influenced her decision to become an actress. She said that she admires both Nigerian actress Ireti Doyle and American actress Angelina Jolie.

“In the Nigerian space, I will say Ireti Doyle. I watched her growing up in Fuji House of Commotion, and she was like a family fav and there is Angela Jolie in the foreign space,” she said.
