Davido’s Sister Styles Her Own Wig After Stylist Arrives Late

Sharon Adeleke, the elder sister of Afrobeats star Davido, has publicly called out a hairstylist for arriving nearly an hour late to a pre-booked appointment, saying the delay left her to style her own hair.

In a video that circulated on X on November 1, 2026, Sharon described waiting for the stylist, who had been booked for 8:00 a.m. but did not arrive until around 9:00 a.m. By the time it became clear the stylist would be late, she said, she had already gathered her own products and done her hair herself.

Sharon expressed particular frustration over the cost of the service. She said the stylist had charged her a high fee for what she described as a basic install, which made the lateness harder to accept. Her anger was also directed at those around the stylist, who she said responded with little more than apologies when she raised the issue.

Using the moment to make a wider point, Sharon asked what would have happened if the booking had been for someone’s wedding, where a late arrival could have had serious consequences. She also said the stylist’s team had called her afterwards, apparently hoping she would wait, which she said would only have made her late for her own plans. Rather than wait, she said she chose to change the hairstyle she had planned and carry on without the stylist.

Her message to vendors was direct. “It’s important that you learn to value your clients,” she said, adding that service providers need to treat customers’ time and money with respect. She also said she is no longer willing to tolerate poor service, suggesting that the vendors in question had not yet encountered what she called the “new and improved” version of her.

Sharon signalled that she plans to keep building her own skills so that she does not depend on stylists who disregard their clients’ time. She said she intends to learn the other hairstyles she wants to wear, and described herself as a “wig master”, a reference to her work in the wig business.

That background gives the incident extra context. Sharon is the founder of Rona Wigs, a venture that grew out of her own frustrations with hairstylists. She has previously explained that years of dealing with skilled stylists who were constantly fully booked pushed her to learn wig-making herself, and that the skill eventually became a business serving other customers. Her reaction to this week’s delay therefore draws on a long-running personal experience with the beauty industry, rather than a one-off annoyance.

Her comments also tap into a common complaint among Nigerian consumers, who often report that appointments with hairstylists and other service providers run late, and that clients are expected to be flexible about timing while paying premium prices. Customers have increasingly taken their grievances to social media, and the viral spread of Sharon’s video shows how quickly such complaints can gain attention when they come from a public figure.

Sharon has become a visible presence in Nigerian entertainment circles through her family connections and her own business. She has also drawn attention for sharing glimpses of her family’s history, including a video in which she displayed Davido’s old passport and boarding pass to illustrate that he has never flown economy, alongside family memorabilia such as her late mother’s chequebook from 1995.

As of the time of this report, the stylist had not publicly responded, and no name or business had been identified in the available accounts. The episode remains a social media exchange rather than a formal dispute, and there is no indication that Sharon intends to pursue the matter further beyond her public remarks.

The incident serves as a reminder, in light-hearted but pointed terms, of how much customer service expectations matter in Nigeria’s growing beauty and personal care sector, where reputation spreads quickly online and a single viral complaint can affect a vendor’s standing with prospective clients.
