Debt Saga: Abu’s criminal record resurfaces on the internet as sources accuse him of once forging Davido’s signature for a deal

More details concerning the ongoing feud between businessman Abu Salami and popular singer, Davido, have emerged online.

It would be recalled that on October 8, 2023, Abu had called out Davido for allegedly reneging on a deal worth N218 million. He had claimed that he paid Davido N176m for promotional content and he cancelled the video shoots.

Days later, he took to his Instagram to share WhatsApp conversations between him and Davido, Davido’s lawyer, and Davido’s hypeman. Abu accused the popular musician of thr£at£ning to b¥lly and bl@ckmail him.

However, sources familiar with the matter have alluded to the fact that there is no contract between Abu Salami and Davido. The sources allege that the businessman had forged Davido’s signature for a deal with a sports betting company that Davido was signed to, and was facing a lawsuit from the company for squandering the money given to him for production.

“There’s no contract anywhere between Abu and Davido. The only deal that was signed was for a promotional content which he paid N176m to Davido and the job was executed. In fact, the promotional video that has been circulating on the internet, is just one out of 13 episodes that Davido executed. It’s just like how every other promoter signs Davido for a show and he executes after payment has been made.

However, Abu is currently facing a lawsuit from the sports betting company for squandering production money and defaulting in his obligations to the deal. As a result, he approached Davido to return half of the money for the promotional content that was executed. He thr£at£n£d to dr@g Davido on social media if the money wasn’t returned. Abu should tell us why that sports betting company is suing him. [Swipe]
