Nigerian singer Peruzzi has alleged that a spiritual charm, locally referred to as "juju" or "jaz," was secretly planted in his clothing during his stay at the residence of Afrobeats superstar Davido. The singer shared this experience during a recent video interview, recounting the moment he discovered the object in a jacket that had just been returned from the laundry. The incident took place during his long-term stay at the property while he was a key artist under the Davido Music Worldwide (DMW) record label.
Providing further detail on the encounter, Peruzzi explained that he felt a sudden and unexplained urge to wear that particular jacket immediately after taking a shower. This intuition led him to inspect the garment, which had recently been processed through the household's laundry service. Upon closer examination, he found the charm hidden within the fabric. The artist indicated that the discovery was both shocking and disturbing, raising questions about the intentions of those with access to his personal space during his time in the residence.
Peruzzi was a mainstay of the DMW label from his signing in 2017 until its eventual dissolution in April 2024. Throughout this seven-year period, he was considered one of Davido’s closest musical collaborators and associates. While the singer did not publicly identify a specific suspect behind the planting of the "jaz," the revelation has fueled online debate regarding the pressures and hidden rivalries often found within the entourages of major entertainment icons. The story highlights the complex personal dynamics that can exist behind the scenes of the Nigerian music industry.
