Nigerian singer Peruzzi has recounted an unusual experience he allegedly had while living at the residence of his former label boss, Davido, claiming that a charm was secretly placed inside one of his jackets.

The singer made the revelation during a recent online video interview, where he spoke about an incident that left him surprised during his stay at the Afrobeats star’s house.

According to Peruzzi, the incident happened one evening after he had taken a shower and was preparing to return downstairs to join other people he had been spending time with.

He explained that after bathing, he went to his wardrobe to pick out clothes. However, he suddenly felt an unusual urge to wear a particular jacket.

Describing the experience, Peruzzi said the jacket seemed to be drawing his attention, repeatedly making him feel like he needed to put it on.

He eventually picked it up, but something unexpectedly fell out of the clothing, prompting him to inspect what was inside.

The singer claimed that what dropped from the jacket was a charm, which he described as juju.

Peruzzi expressed surprise at the discovery, particularly because the jacket had recently been returned from the laundry.

Recounting the incident, he said: “I took a shower one evening, like at 6 pm. Just a shower and then went to go and meet them back downstairs because I was chilling there before I went upstairs in David’s house when I was still living there.

“And then I was done taking the shower. I go to my wardrobe to get my clothes, and then one of my jackets is just telling me, ‘Pull me, wear me, wear me, wear me.’ I don’t know how to explain it, but I was just having the urge to wear it.

“So, I carry am (the jacket), and something just dropped inside, and when I looked, it was jaz, better juju inside my room. A jacket that just came from the laundry.”

The singer did not identify anyone as being responsible for placing the alleged charm inside his jacket or explain how it got there.

Peruzzi, whose real name is Tobechukwu Victor Okoh, joined Davido Music Worldwide (DMW) in 2017 and became one of the prominent artistes associated with the label.

His association with Davido also brought him into the spotlight, with the singer contributing to several projects and working closely with the DMW boss.

However, Davido announced the dissolution of DMW in April 2024, bringing an end to the record label’s operations in its previous structure.

Peruzzi’s latest revelation has offered another account of his experience while living with the award-winning singer, although he has yet to provide further details about the alleged discovery.
