April Fool: Davido Demands Apology, Compensation From Kenya’s K24 TV In 48hrs

Published

on

Afrobeats artist, Davido has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Kenya’s Mediamax’s K24 TV, demanding a public apology and compensation for defamation.

The demand, contained in a pre-suit letter comes after the network aired a report on April Fool’s Day claiming Davido’s arrest at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

The article published on K24’s digital platform, titled “Davido detained at JKIA after Sh18 million cocaine haul found in his private jet,” has drawn criticism from Davido, who has demanded a formal apology through Conrad Law Advocates.

Davido emphasized that the allegations were damaging to his reputation, both personally and professionally, and insisted on a retraction from K24.

The singer’s advocate, said, “The statements found in your article are blatantly false and published with the express intent of disparaging our client.

“Your statements are false and affect our client’s professional reputation by falsely stating that Davido was arrested for drug-related offenses,” the law firm asserted.

Davido’s legal representatives from Conrad Law Advocates have instructed Mediamax’s K24 TV to halt the publication of defamatory statements against him, issue a formal apology, accept responsibility for defaming the singer, and reimburse him for legal fees and expenses.

They have given a 48-hour ultimatum for compliance, warning of legal action if their demands were not met within the specified timeframe.

The notice emerged shortly after Davido addressed the cocaine allegations on his social media channels, asserting his innocence and emphasizing his adherence to the law.

Screenshots suggest the original post garnered approximately 341,000 views before being taken down.

Davido, recognized as one of the most influential Afrobeats artists globally alongside Burna Boy and Wizkid, recently entertained audiences at his “Timeless” concert in Kampala and Raha Fest in Nairobi.

Diddy Caught On Tape Assaulting Cassie Ventura [Video]

Published

on

Surveillance footage has revealed Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly engaging in a physical altercation with his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016 at the InterContinental Hotel Century City in Los Angeles.y

The video was obtained by CNN on Friday.

The video captures Ventura walking briskly down a hallway, carrying a purse and a small duffel bag, while Combs, wearing only socks and a towel around his waist, is seen running after her.

In the footage, the rapper, who is currently facing sexual abuse allegations from multiple women, is seen encountering Ventura at the elevator lobby.

He allegedly grabs her by the back of the neck, throws her to the ground, kicks her, takes her bags, and kicks her again before dragging her back toward the hallway.

Combs then retrieves Ventura’s bags and returns to the hotel room, while she uses a hotel phone by the elevators.

He later appears to shove her into a corner and throws an object at her off-camera.

According to Ventura’s lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, the newly revealed video reinforces the disturbing and predatory behavior exhibited by Mr. Combs.

He said “gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

Ventura, who began her on-and-off relationship with Combs in the early 2000s when she was 19 and he was 37, settled her lawsuit against him just one day after filing it last November.

The suit alleged repeated physical and sexual abuse over more than a decade.

At the time, Combs “vehemently” denied the allegations, as stated by his attorney, Ben Brafman.

Following the settlement, Brafman emphasized that the undisclosed agreement did not constitute an admission of wrongdoing on Combs’ part.

Brafman did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment regarding the footage published by CNN.

Following Ventura’s public allegations, numerous other women have come forward with similar accusations against Combs, all of which he has denied.

In March, Homeland Security agents conducted raids on multiple properties associated with the rapper.

While the exact nature of the raids remains unclear, a senior federal law enforcement official informed CNN that the team responsible for the raids typically handles cases related to human trafficking crimes.
