While every other big artiste from the continent was in Nigeria for the Afrima awards last weekend, Lagos-based multiple award-winning singer Davido was in South Africa where the unfortunate happened.
The Money hit maker and his team claimed to have lost $185,000 (Sh18.9m), two Rolex watches and a passport to robbers who fleeced him and his manager at gun point in Sandton, Johannesburg.
“My daughter’s face was flashing through my eyes the whole time,” said Davido.
“We had just arrived here to prepare for a concert set to take place this weekend when two gunmen caught up with us as we stopped at the traffic lights. They smashed our windows and the rest is history,” Davido said.
The money, which was in bags, was in different currencies.
