It all began with Wizkid's seemingly carefree tweet, where he expressed frustration at constantly having to play the role of the "nice guy" with his fans. The renowned singer took to x to vent his feelings, urging his followers to beg him and even demanded video proof in exchange for new music.
However, what was intended as a lighthearted plea quickly turned into a heated exchange when Wizkid incorporated a crying video clip of his fellow musician, Davido. The video, which had been making rounds on the internet, purportedly showed Davido pleading for forgiveness from his wife amidst swirling rumors of infidelity.
Davido wasted no time in firing back at Wizkid's jab, delivering a response that sent shockwaves through the online community. In his reply, Davido not only dismissed Wizkid's actions but also launched a personal attack, accusing his rival of riding on a wave of resurrection "That’s what I thought. Nothing to say! Exactly why I stopped wasting my clout and jeopardising my millions of USD of endorsements on someone whose career was resurrected a few years ago just to die again. NEXT!!”. Davido seemingly washed his hands of the feud, implying that Wizkid was not worth his time or attention. The exchange between these two titans of Afrobeat sent social media into a frenzy, with fans and observers alike weighing in on the escalating feud.
Many were quick to take sides, pledging allegiance to either Team Davido or Team Wizkid. The Davido-Wizkid feud is not the first of its kind in the world of Afrobeat music and the two have been clashing for years. In an industry fuelled by competition and ego, clashes between artists are all too common, often played out on the public stage of social media for all to see. As the dust settles on this latest tussle, one thing remains clear: the rivalry between Davido and Wizkid shows no signs of passing anytime soon.
Whether it's friendly banter or genuine animosity, one can only speculate on the true nature of their relationship. But one thing is for certain: as long as both artists continue to dominate the Afrobeat scene, the world will be watching, eagerly awaiting the next twist in this epic saga.
