Davido, a Nigerian music superstar, stopped his live show in Umuahia, Abia State, on June 27, 2025, to shout out at a fan who had brought a baby to the scene in the middle of a loud and crowded concert.
It was an event of one highly anticipated launch party that featured award-winning performer Davido as the headliner event of Don Lulu.
The atmosphere was ripe, people were enthusiastic, and everything was running well when all of a sudden Davido stopped in the middle of a song.
He had seen a member of the audience with a small baby on the stage. In disbelief, Davido came out strongly to condemn the act as careless and hazardous.
“Why bring a baby here?” he exclaimed in astonishment. “You are a bad man.“
His speech resonated across the venue, achieving instant popularity on the internet and triggering a social media debate on what parents should do to keep children safe and how safe concerts can be.
Not only is he a crowd-puller but a passionate father who has given smashing hits such as Fall, Unavailable, and FEM. In the many years of his life, he has had intimate moments with his children and frequently tells how fatherhood has transformed his life.

According to fans, his response in Umuahia is an indication of his increasing feelings of responsibility as a performer, not only as a role model but also as a father.
His audacious action to halt the production and interrupt with a speech was hailed by many, not because it is something that is commonly ignored in this industry.
In addition to music, Davido has been in the news due to his charity activities in the David Adeleke Foundation, giving scholarships, funding hospitals, and paying medical expenses to fans in need.
Though some might find the incident shocking, it was a reminder that concerts, no matter how exciting they can be, are not necessarily safe facilities to bring children, in this case, infants.
Davido was willing to say it loud and clear: safety must come first, even during the party.
