Some social media users criticized the heightened security, arguing that it seemed excessive for South Africa, suggesting that Davido might not warrant such protection in the country.

While Davido was said to be on a casual trip to Cape Town on Sunday, January 21, 2024, pictures started circulating on the internet showing the Unavailable crooner with people carrying AK-47s around him. A photo shared by Twitter user, Thibo Talk captured Davido posing with his armed guards in an imposing manner, with the caption stating, "Davido is on a Vacation in Cape Town, South Africa!"

However, not all reactions were negative, with some fans defending the singer's security measures. One user acknowledged that while it may appear extravagant, South Africa is known for high crime rates, emphasizing the importance of ensuring Davido's safety.

Another user recalled a past incident where Davido was reportedly robbed in the country, suggesting that heightened security might be a precautionary response to such incidents.
