The Nigerian entertainment industry has been buzzing with excitement as two of its biggest stars, Davido and Wizkid, engage in a fiery social media feud. The dispute was sparked when Wizkid, in a video released on Monday, seemingly took a jab at Davido, setting off a war of words between the two musicians.
The tension quickly escalated when Davido, known for his bold and outspoken nature, responded with a cutting comment on the X platform. He tweeted, “Dem no know ur gbedu [music] again,” insinuating that Wizkid’s music was losing its appeal. This remark sent shockwaves throughout the industry, drawing the attention of not only their fans but also other artists like Kizz Daniel and Tekno.
Wizkid, unwilling to back down, swiftly hit back at Davido’s critique, posting a dismissive comment. He wrote, “U know what..no point. delusional niggas pray for y’all,” implying that Davido was disconnected from reality. The back-and-forth continued as Davido quoted Wizkid’s tweet, labeling him a “sick man” and fueling the animosity between them.
Adding fuel to the fire, Davido expressed regret over his attempts to help Wizkid in the past, stating, “That’s what I thought. Nothing to say! Exactly why I stopped wasting my clout and jeopardizing my millions of USD of endorsements on someone whose career was resurrected a few years ago just to die again. NEXT!!”
This heated exchange has not only intensified the rivalry between Wizkid and Davido but has also ignited a frenzy among their respective fan bases. Online platforms have become battlegrounds for supporters from both sides, as they fiercely defend their idols.
The feud between Wizkid and Davido is not a new phenomenon. These two music sensations have been at odds for years, attracting public attention with their personal and musical clashes. However, this recent spat seems to have taken their rivalry to a new level, with fans eagerly watching for the next move from both sides.
As the social media rift between the two continues to dominate conversations in Nigeria, it remains to be seen whether Davido and Wizkid will find a way to reconcile or if their feud will escalate further. One thing is for certain – the eyes of the nation remain fixated on this intense battle between two giants of the Nigeria music industry.
