Nigerian Afrobeat star David Adedeji Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has responded to claims circulating online that he owes $50,000 to the planner of his wedding to Chioma.
The singer addressed the matter after reports suggested that Funke Bucknor-Obruthe, chief executive of Zapphaire Events, had accused him of failing to pay for services rendered.

The allegation spread quickly across social media, with a screenshot claiming to show a message from Bucknor demanding payment and threatening legal action if the debt was not cleared within three days.
The post alleged that the balance was connected to Davido’s wedding, which took place a few months ago and was reportedly managed by her company.
Funke Bucknor, however, issued a disclaimer through her official Instagram story, stating clearly that she had not made any such demand.
She explained that the viral screenshot was false and misleading, emphasising that it did not originate from her or her company.
She also clarified that she does not operate any other social media account apart from her verified page, distancing herself completely from the message.
Davido, in his reaction to the post on X (formerly Twitter), dismissed the allegation as baseless, describing the situation as unbelievable.
