Armed robbers attacked Nigerian artist Qudus Fakoya Oluwadamilare, popularly known as Qdot, at his Lagos home on September 28, 2025.

Around 2:30 a.m., intruders held him at gunpoint and stole valuable items.

Stolen Items

The thieves took phones and laptops. They also drained Qdot’s bank accounts and hacked his social media, sparking scam concerns. F

ans should ignore odd posts or money requests from his accounts.

Manager’s Warning

Dami Adenuga, Qdot’s manager, posted on X about the attack.

“Robbers stole Qdot’s devices, emptied his accounts, and accessed his social media. Be cautious of fake messages,” he urged.

Who Is Qdot?

Qdot, born April 30 in Ikorodu, Lagos, mixes Yoruba rap with Afrobeats and Fuji.

His 2010 debut, “Story of My Life,” led to hits like “Alomo Meta” and “Gbese.” His street vibe has built a strong fanbase.

Rising Crime Trend

This follows attacks on artists like Lil Kesh, robbed in Lagos in August 2025. It highlights growing safety risks for celebrities in the city.

Police Silence

Lagos police have not issued a statement. Fans and peers are rallying behind Qdot, wishing him a swift recovery from the trauma.

Safety Push

The music scene demands better protection for artists. Qdot’s strength will shine, but the incident exposes Lagos’ security issues for stars.
