Davido Reveals 2014 Ghana Scandal That Led to Suicidal Thoughts

Afrobeats star David Adeleke, known as Davido, disclosed that a 2014 incident in Ghana sparked a personal crisis. While staying at a hotel after a concert, a woman he had spent the night with secretly photographed him sleeping and posted the image online. The picture quickly went viral, prompting a flood of calls from his father and sisters. Davido said the backlash made him feel trapped, recalling that “if I saw a balcony that day, I would have jumped.” He admitted the episode drove him to contemplate suicide and taught him harsh lessons about privacy, fame and the need to set boundaries. The singer reflected that he was young, “liked women too much,” and that the scandal remains a defining moment in his understanding of celebrity life.
