Controversial Nollywood actor Uche Maduagwu has publicly apologised to Nigerian music star Davido, admitting that he was paid to ridicule the singer, his wife, and his family.
During an appearance on Peks Ikeji TV, a clip of which is currently circulating on social media, Uche revealed that he collected ₦2.5 million to criticise Davido online.
He stressed that the award-winning artist never personally offended or wronged him.
Uche added that his conscience would no longer allow him to remain silent, describing his actions as wrong, unnecessary, and deeply regrettable.
The confession has sparked strong reactions online. While some social media users praised him for speaking out, others expressed shock at the revelation.
One commenter wrote, “One after the other you all will start confessing. OBO for life,” while another added, “This entertainment industry is deep oo, it is well.”
Uche Maduagwu’s confession has once again reignited conversations around paid online bullying, influencer ethics, and alleged smear campaigns within Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
