A man claiming to be a Davido lookalike has taken to social media to reveal that a young girl, referred to only as Any, believes he is her father, a claim that has quickly gone viral across various platforms.
The unusual confession was made in a video that has since attracted thousands of views, comments, and shares, with many Nigerians expressing shock, amusement, and disbelief at the unfolding story.
The man, speaking in the video, said the encounter began when he was out at a club in Owerri, where he often gets mistaken for the popular Afrobeats star due to their similar appearance.
“Right from time, I’ve been Davido’s die-hard fan right from Owerri,” he said, explaining that he has long embraced the resemblance and even enjoys the attention that comes with it.
Lookalike says he was been followed home by fan
“There was a time I went to a club to vibe. She saw me and thought I was Davido. I told her I’m not, but she was so excited and followed me to my hotel,” he narrated, describing how the situation escalated unexpectedly.
According to him, despite repeatedly denying that he was the real Davido, the girl remained convinced and continued insisting that he was the singer in disguise.
He added, “Anu is my daughter, no be play. Davido, please forgive me,” insisting that he had no intention of misleading the girl but had now realized the situation had gone too far and needed to be addressed publicly.
The man further claimed that the misunderstanding spiraled into the girl believing he was responsible for her child, a development that left many viewers confused and entertained in equal measure.
The revelation has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with users ranging from humorous disbelief to critical commentary, as many questioned how such a situation could even occur.
Some users joked about the power of celebrity lookalikes, while others blamed desperation, misinformation, and the obsession with fame.
