On April 29, 2024, the Nigerian music industry witnessed a surprising and heated exchange between two of its biggest superstars, Wizkid and Davido. This online face-off between the two artists created waves and left a lasting impact on contemporary Nigerian music history.
The drama began during Wizkid’s online interactive session with his fans in the early hours of April 29. What started as a seemingly innocent interaction quickly took a controversial turn when Wizkid referred to Don Jazzy as an influencer and decided to troll Davido by sharing a viral video of him crying.
Later in the day, Davido responded with a cheeky subtweet on his X account, posting “they don forget your gbedu,” implying that Wizkid’s music no longer resonates with the streets. This ignited the fire even further.
Wizkid didn’t hold back and delivered a scathing reply, taking a jab at Davido’s associate Perruzi by calling him a “pant washer” and asserting that Davido had nothing on him musically. The post read, “U and all ur crew plus ur pant washer songwriter go to sleep at night thinking you actually got anything on me in music wish u all well.”
The exchange escalated as Wizkid labeled Davido as delusional, and Davido retaliated by calling him a sick man. The tension reached its peak when Wizkid responded with the viral video of Davido crying on his knees, adding, “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!!”
The back-and-forth continued, with Wizkid throwing shade at Davido by referring to him as an influencer with a songwriter. The insults hit new lows as they traded personal jabs.
Davido took a dig at Wizkid’s height, calling him a 4ft man who shops for shoes at Kids Footlocker. He also dared Wizkid to release a solo song that Friday. In response, Wizkid challenged Davido to drop a song that he wrote for himself.
This online feud between Wizkid And Davido came as a shock to many, especially considering that just a few months ago, they appeared to be on good terms. In December 2023, they were seen partying together, and Davido even announced Wizkid’s last project, ‘S2’.
The intense exchange between these two music icons captivated social media and sparked conversations among fans and industry insiders alike. While the reasons behind their sudden fallout remain unclear, one thing is certain – this showdown between Wizkid and Davido will be remembered as a significant moment in Nigerian music history.
