Videos from Chioma’s 30th birthday are trending.
Among the videos, the ones where Davido pulled her head ‘playfully’ though forcefully from behind have raised concerns.
Their relationship, their rules.
At the same time, I thought it’d be better if he treated her like a lady out in public.
You wrap your hand around a woman’s waist gently.
If you’re going for her n€-ck, there’s how you put your arm affectionately around it.
Not spread your palm on her head and drag her like you would do Cubana Chief Priest or Israel DMW.
The intent was fun, however, Davido should learn to act like the camera is on sometimes.
Certain acts are better kept private, out of respect for a partner.
It’s called public decency.
He tends to be impulsive when he’s extremely excited. And does things that make you say ‘whattt!’.
In the past, we’ve seen him cup Chioma’s b**b in the presence of his friends and she looked visibly embarrassed.
Other times, he’s smacked and gr0.p€d her while holding a camera.
Each time he does things like that, fans go out of their way to defend it just as they’re doing now.
They’re saying though he’s a roÂ¥gh person, she’s a baddie and likes it rough.
When they see Davido they see dollar signs instead of a human being capable of exhibiting an inappropriate behaviour.
Funnily enough, when the chips are down, the same fickle fans will pick out these subtly de,gra,ding situations and say “see the way he used to do her when they were out together and she did nothing”.
It won’t look as cool as it looks now, rather it’ll be given a different interpretation.
And Chayoma my sister, there are certain acts you don’t gloss over.
I get that a relationship like yours comes with a lot of compromises on your part.
But the least he can do is treat you with dignity in public.
As an adult male, nobody’s hand is landing on my head to get my attention. Friend or lover!
Dem no dey touch our head laikdat for our village (wink).
Likewise, I don’t think I can stand seeing any sister or female friend of mine being repeatedly palm-shoved and dragged by the head by one jaguda, in the midst of our celebration.
Na rough play be that.
It’s low key giving domination and anyhowness.
Now I expect somebody to talk the usual groundnut talk “did she complain to anyborri?”
Well, see something, say something.
I’ve said my own.
And you will deal.
