Tagbo Umeike’s death was very controversial because Davido was accused of knowing and having a hand in his death.
His death raised so many eyebrows because of the controversy surrounding his demise. He was reported to have been with Davido and his crew at a nightclub on October 4, 2017, before they allegedly decided to play a drinking game that had a winning price of an iPhone 8 and N200,000 cash, a game which went bad.
It was alleged that Davido and his crew decided to leave the club and insisted that Tagbo should ride in Davido’s car, an offer he declined. However, he was allegedly carried to the General Hospital where his corpse was dumped, leaving speculations over what transpired after the drinking contest.
