Nigerian musician, Davido’s fiance, Chioma has refuted claims that the singer has been beating her.
This is in reaction to rumours carried by blogs that she is in an abusive relationship with the ‘1 Milli’ singer.
She noted that she already knew how life with a public figure was going to be as far as bloggers are concerned and that she has not bothered to clear her name anytime she is all over social media but she has found the claims”quite disturbing” and just had to speak.
In an Instagram post, she stated that she has no idea how a story as this came up.
According to her, “never has there ever been an incident of abuse in my home. He has never in his life lifted a finger to touch me and I have never so much as even pushed him.”
She cautioned bloggers and rumour mongers to do their work with “a bit of fear of God” adding that domestic violence is not a topic to joke with.
Also using the opportunity, she advised women to not allow men to abuse them but speak up when they find themselves in abusive relationships.
Check her full post below:
“I know you guys absolutely love to spread all sorts of rumours and stories for your entertainment and I’ve known from Day 1 what to expect from blogs and the internet especially with myself and family being in the public space. I have never once come out to respond to any blogger or react to any rumour mongers before as quite frankly it has never been my nature to engage in online battles or pay too much mind to social media.
But I must say I have found quite disturbing the stories of domestic abuse between myself and David and for once feel a need to speak up. Domestic violence and abuse is NO JOKE and not something to ever take lightly. Never has there ever been an incident of abuse in my home. He has never in his life lifted a finger to touch me and I have never so much as even pushed him. I believe with everything we peddle as human beings whether offline or online, we should have a bit of fear of God more so when speaking on things we know absolutely nothing of. I’m not sure where in the world such stories have started from, but I want to ensure everyone showing concern whether fake or real, that such has never and will never happen. Further, we do not take such allegations of abuse lightly at all and if such persists then we will be jointly taking up action against the perpetrators of these disgusting rumors.
To the beautiful young ones out there, never ever allow a man to lay his hands on you while you keep quiet. If you were ever to suffer such, ensure you SPEAK UP! With all that is going on in the world right now, we most certainly can not sit around and condone or encourage women to condone such.”
