Update: Davido’s Cousin Tunji Adeleke Alleges Assault by Ibiza Nightclub Security, Links Attack to Racial Motive

 

A recent altercation at a nightclub in Ibiza has taken a disturbing turn as Tunji Adeleke, a cousin to Nigerian music superstar Davido, has come forward with harrowing details of an alleged violent incident that occurred during what was supposed to be a celebratory night. The event, which was part of the wedding festivities for Davido's longtime manager Asa Asika, has now drawn global attention, not for its joy but for the claims of aggression, injury, and racism surrounding it.

Davido initially made headlines when he took to Instagram Stories with alarming accusations. According to the singer, security personnel at the Ibiza club not only became hostile but allegedly attempted to harm him and his entourage. The post quickly gained traction online, sparking concern among fans and fellow celebrities.

Further depth was added to the incident when Tunji Adeleke, a prominent political figure and a relative of the Afrobeat icon, shared his own disturbing experience on X (formerly Twitter). He described a brutal encounter that left him physically injured and emotionally shaken, stating that he was almost choked to death by the club’s security operatives. His public posts painted a vivid picture of trauma, confusion, and growing fear over the motivations behind the attack.

“My neck hurts!!! My neck oooo, my throat ooo!!! I’m on the way to CONSELLERIA SALUT I CONSUM HOSPITAL… I do not feel fine. I’ve said it now ooo!!! Pray for me!” Tunji posted, making it clear that the incident had caused him enough physical harm to require immediate medical attention.

His statements have sparked outrage online, especially among Nigerians and members of the African diaspora who are expressing frustration over what they see as a pattern of mistreatment in international spaces. Tunji hinted strongly at the possibility that the attack may have been racially motivated, raising questions about how Black patrons are treated in European nightlife venues.

According to Tunji, the night had been full of joy and celebration until it took a shocking turn. “Such a great night! Good energy! Until the end!!! The end ooo!!! Choking and attacking us facing the back? WHY?” he asked in disbelief. He also called for the immediate release of CCTV footage from the nightclub, suggesting that video evidence would clarify the events and possibly hold the perpetrators accountable.

The demand for transparency has intensified as supporters of the Adeleke family rally behind the call for justice. Davido himself has not provided further public statements beyond his original post, but his cousin’s detailed narrative has given the situation new urgency. For many, it is no longer just about celebrity mistreatment; it has become a broader conversation about safety, prejudice, and the rights of African travelers abroad.

While the management of the Ibiza nightclub in question has yet to issue a formal statement addressing the accusations, pressure is mounting. Social media users are demanding answers, and calls for boycotts have begun circulating online, with some vowing to never set foot in establishments that allegedly mistreat Black guests.

Legal experts are also beginning to weigh in. Some have suggested that if CCTV footage confirms an unprovoked attack, the Adeleke family could have grounds for pursuing legal action, potentially invoking both criminal and civil charges. Others are calling on the Nigerian government and its diplomatic missions in Spain to investigate the matter and ensure that justice is served for its citizens.

Meanwhile, fans and followers continue to flood social platforms with messages of support and prayers for Tunji’s recovery. The graphic nature of his posts, coupled with his urgent tone, has left many deeply concerned about the emotional and physical toll of the incident.

As the situation unfolds, the spotlight remains firmly on the nightclub in Ibiza and the actions of its staff. What began as a night of celebration for Davido’s inner circle has quickly transformed into a moment of reckoning for how Black individuals are treated in elite global spaces.

The Adeleke family, known for its prominence in both political and entertainment circles in Nigeria, is unlikely to let the matter fade quietly. With Tunji publicly requesting the release of camera footage and hinting at deeper motives behind the attack, this incident may well become a pivotal moment in confronting the mistreatment of African nationals abroad.
