Social distancing seems to be taking a number on popular Nigerian singer David Adedeji Adeleke, who is better known as Davido. The music star took to social media to reveal that he is changing his phone number and advised those trying to reach him to refrain from doing so.

While at it, the Nigerian star pointed out that he has stopped putting the interest of other people before his. He explained that he was changing his phone number because he wanted to ‘cleanse’.

"If you can't reach me, don't reach me. All my life, I have put people before me...I think it is time to actually live my life and take care of myself. I have changed my number! I need some cleansing to do love y'all," he wrote.

The father-of-three added that the move is not personal. “Please understand… see you when I drop about,” he added.

A closer look at his Instagram account reveals that the ‘Blow My Mind’ hitmaker has unfollowed his fellow countryman, Wizkid and his label signee Peruzzi, who has found himself in serious trouble as a young lady is accusing him of raping her eight years ago.

This comes barely a day after his lawyer shared photos of him stepping out of a hospital in crutches after reportedly fracturing his left ankle.

“How some people chose to enter June. Nawa. At some point yesterday we were literally thanking God there are no shows right now. Get well soon bro @davidoofficial,” he captioned the photos.

Chioma Avril Rowland, his girlfriend and the mother of his younger son, also took to social media to wish him a quick recovery, confirming the news of his injuries which details still remain scanty.

“Get well soon baby, I love you. We all wish you well,” she wrote.

Following news that he had changed his number, netizens turned on dancehall singer Cynthia Morgan, who has been trying to make a comeback after a musical hiatus.

Initially, Davido had promised to help her out in her comeback journey. Through a tweet about two weeks ago, Davido asked the German Juice hitmaker to call him. But following the announcement, netizens have been left wondering if he has also left Cynthia Morgan on the cold.

The flamboyant US-born singer had earlier given his fans a snippet of his newly purchased mansion worth a fortune in Nigeria's leafy Banana Island, Lagos.

An excited Davido took to his social media to tease fans with photos of the mansion’s interior and flaunted an elevator that he said he had installed as he has always wanted to have one in his crib.

“Always wanted to go up at the crib like this,” he captioned a photo of his elevator buttons in a series of videos shared via his Instagram stories.
