Davido Dragged As Fan Dig Up Old Pic After Hennessey Claim: “U Dey Fake Am But Say U Chase Dem Out”

• A netizen shares a 2018 post showing Davido allegedly faked a Hennessy deal, calling out the singer for contradiction
• The music star recently said his influence boosted Martell’s sales in Africa by 22%, adding he helped chase Hennessy out of Nigeria.
• While some fans trolled the singer for allegedly lying, others defended him, hailing his hustle and loyalty to Martell

Nigerian singer and Martell ambassador, Davido, is once again at the center of online drama after an old photo resurfaced online, suggesting that he once faked a Hennessy endorsement.

This comes shortly after the singer claimed during an interview that he played a major role in pushing Hennessy out of the Nigerian market, while simultaneously helping Martell dominate and increase its market share across the continent.

In his words, Davido, whose first child just celebrated her birthday, stated that his influence alone was responsible for a 22% revenue increase for Martell in Africa. Davido also added that his partnership with the cognac brand was more impactful than any before it.

However, a netizen, @blackebony98, surprised fans by digging out a post from 2018, where Davido’s manager Asa Asika shared a celebratory image suggesting a deal with Hennessy had been signed.

The caption read:

“Deal signed after almost a year of going back and forth. It’s official, OBO & Hennessy!”

The netizen blasted Davido, claiming the endorsement never existed and was allegedly staged out of jealousy for Wizkid’s Ciroc deal at the time.

He said:

“Same Hennessy, you used their brand to announce ‘fake endorsement’ they never offered you via your IG in 2018? All out of jealousy for Wizkid’s Ciroc partnership. Certified faker.”
