It appears Davido was not given a chieftaincy title but was only welcomed as a son into the family.

Nigerians woke up to the news of Davido being awarded a chieftaincy title in Ibusa, Delta state and fans celebrated the singer on his latest achievement. However, new reports have surfaced stating that the singer was only adopted into the family. The Uwolo of Ibuzor, Amaechi Nwaenie, via his Facebook page explained what really happened so as not to confuse fans.

The traditional ruler stated that the father of Davido’s friend, Chief Fred Ajudua, had invited him over to his house to entertain the singer. He further explained that while the singer was at the residence, his friend’s father shared his intention to adopt Davido into his family, so as to strengthen the bond of friendship between his son, Bobo, and the celebrity singer.

“While in his residence, Onwa said he wanted to adopt Davido into the Ajudua’s family to straighten the strong friendship between his son Bobo and Davido. I recall someone jokingly asked Onwa if he wanted to give chieftaincy title to Davido’ to which Onwa said a categorical no”
