Nigerian photographer, Shola Animashaun, has narrated what singer, Davido did when area boys stormed the location of a magazine shoot the singer was billed to feature.

In the spirit of throwbacks, the 30 Billion Gang leader, was delayed in his car because of the crowd and to Shola's surprise, Davido did an unexpected thing.

Eight years on, Shola revealed that Davido's action earned him(Davido) a new level of respect.

"It was a shoot for one of the biggest music magazine and @davidoofficial was on time but something else happened.

"The area boys in the street got wind that he was heading to our office. It was a struggle to enter the compound as all the chant you couod hear was "Omo Baba Olowo" (Son of a rich man).

"I approached @davidoofficial and asked if we should send the boys away ( which will be hard ) , they were forcing their way through the gate already. He said "No". He gave his ATM to one of his team members, to go withdraw some money, told the area boys to chill and wait.

"@davidoofficial did not leave his car till the gentleman came back with the money. He asked for the leader of the boys and gave them the money.
It was unusual, I've had other celeb visit the studio in stealth mode.

"After that scenario I had some newfound respect for @davidoofficial.

"The brief for the shoot did not require Davido to remove his shirt. I told him I was doing a project of Tattoo and asked if he would not mind. He said no problem. Hence this picture."
