Popular Nigerian-American singer-songwriter, Davido has been fined £340,000 (which is approximately N190,000,000) in UK. This was made public in a tweet which shared hours ago.

David Adedeji Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, is a Nigerian-American singer, songwriter, and record producer. Davido blends traditional African elements with global mainstream pop. Davido won the Next Rated award in 2012 at The Headies after releasing “Dami Duro”, the second single from his debut studio album Omo Baba Olowo(2012).[5] Between 2013 and 2015, he also released a number of hit singles and in January 2016 he signed a record deal with Sony Music. He then founded the record label Davido Music Worldwide (DMW), to which acts Dremo, Mayorkun, Peruzzi and Liya have been signed.

According to a post shared by Instablog, a twitter user identified as @marvinabbey reported that Davido was fined after breaching the O2 rules.

The following were extracted from the post:

“Davido was supposed to finish his concert at the O2 at 11pm. The O2 have a strict 11pm curfew. For every minute you go past 11pm you have to pay £10,000. Davido said he don’t care. He finished the concert at 23:34. That’s £340,000 fine. Mental!!”.
