I’ve never met second girl that took pix of me in bed – Davido
In December last year, Dami duro crooner Davido
was enveloped in a second lady-in-bed
photo scandal with an unnamed girl after the first one involving girl friend
Sonia went viral in March while holidaying in Ghana.
Davido has kept mum on the matter until now
when he tells former Big Brother Africa house mate Ebuka Obi Uchendu hosts
of TV programme Rubbing
Minds that he never knew this girl.
“I was asleep in bed. The girl just snuck in
and (makes gesture of taking photograph) I don’t know her. I used to stay in an
apartment back then and movement was kind of free. Maybe I didn’t lock the door
and she just snuck in and took the pix. I have however moved to my new
home where there is much tighter security.

but with a budget almost at par with Lagos State, the state’s information boss
interjected the Cross River born journalist and said Akwa Ibom has 4.5 million

Look at the car Senator David Mark’s bought for 2face as wedding gift
Omo, this ride no be
beans.
A Corvette sports car. This costs megabucks but I promise to bring you the
exact figure of how much the car costs. 2face and Mark are from the same state,
so I’m not surprised the Senate President bought him that. Now, if this car is
a wedding gift from Mark, do you think Gov. Akpabio should be criticized for
buying an SUV for Annie Macaulay (a daughter of the state)? More photo after the cut...
