David ‘Davido’ Adeleke has broken a fan’s heart who reportedly is riding a bicycle from Benue to Lagos for eight days, so far, to see the music superstar.

Sharing a photo of a man riding a bike holding a poster of the music star, a Twitter user, @ssbmuzik, on Thursday announced that a Davido fan is riding a bicycle from Benue to Lagos to see the entertainer.

“A young man called @emmiwuks embarked on a Benue to #Lagos on a bicycle to meet #Afrobeat Superstar @davido. He is currently on Day 8 today,” @ssbmuzik tweeted, urging other Twitter users to retweet for the information to reach Davido.

‘I’m Unavailable’ crooner Davido, however, asked the fan embarking on the journey to turn back because he was not at home, responding to @ssbmuzik’s tweet.

“Turn around,” said Davido. “I’m not home.”

But the musician’s terse response was displeasing to at least one of Davido’s fans.

“Someone came all the way from Benue to Lagos to see you, and you sent him back,” tweeted Nappynlaze. “Wetin man do man abeg.”
