The ongoing tension between Nigerian music heavyweights Davido and Wizkid has recently escalated, with journalist Joey Akan weighing in on the matter. The conflict reignited when Davido announced the release of his first single for 2024, which he confidently predicted would be a hit. In response, Wizkid posted a cryptic message on his X page that many fans believed was aimed at Davido, saying, “P*y boys dropping mid again, una don tire! Make una go rest small!” While Wizkid didn’t name Davido directly, it was perceived by many as a subtle jab.

One of Davido’s fans fired back, accusing Wizkid of trying to gain attention by criticizing Davido. The fan wrote, “So if you no beef @davido your song won’t sell??” Wizkid, quick to respond, dismissed the idea of a rivalry, stating, “I don’t beef wack nigas! We all know he’s wack! No talent!”* This exchange stirred up even more controversy, with fans from both sides reacting fiercely.

Joey Akan, a respected Nigerian journalist, expressed his frustration over the feud, labeling it as a display of “secondhand embarrassment.” He pointed out that the drama between the two artists feels outdated and criticized Wizkid for engaging in public disputes instead of focusing on connecting with his audience. Joey noted that since Made in Lagos, Wizkid hasn’t had the same connection with his fans. He stated, “Wizkid dragging Davido doesn’t hit as he’s led to believe by drama-thirsty NPC FCs. It falls flat on its face, more repugnant than entertaining or endearing. Once again, the moment he descended the Mt Olympus of Made in Lagos, and started engaging with mortals again.”

Joey also touched on the fact that fans are waiting for new music from Wizkid, not more drama, writing, “You can’t be dragging your colleague’s art when yours has lacked connectivity for two years. People dey wait for music, you dey feed us beef. Reading the crowd wrongly. Drop for us.” This sentiment echoed the frustrations of many fans, who feel that the ongoing conflict is overshadowing what really matters—the music.

Meanwhile, Davido has taken the high road, choosing not to directly engage with Wizkid’s taunts. This came after Wizkid dismissed Davido’s fanbase, referring to them as “30 Bingos” instead of the popular “30BG” and mockingly calling him “Fogido.” Despite the jabs, Davido has remained focused on his music, refusing to let the rivalry derail his momentum.

As the back-and-forth continues, many fans and industry insiders are left wondering whether the feud will ever be resolved, or if it will continue to overshadow the incredible talent both artists bring to the table.

In the midst of this online feud, Davido, known for his hit song Unavailable, chose not to engage in the back-and-forth. Instead, he focused on his upcoming collaboration with PUMA, sharing the exciting news on his verified X account.

Davido tweeted: “Touchdown NYC!! Excited about tonight @puma X Davido New collection Unveiling! ????,” showcasing his focus on success and growth, and subtly reminding everyone of his winning partnership with PUMA, a brand that Wizkid once represented as an ambassador.

DAVIDO’S REACTION:

In the midst of recent jabs from fellow artist Wizkid, Davido has decided to rise above the noise, sharing a powerful and inspiring message with his fans. Instead of engaging in a public back-and-forth, the DMW boss took to Instagram to focus on positivity and perseverance.

Accompanying a series of striking photos of himself, Davido’s message was a reminder to stay focused on one’s goals and remain true to their path, regardless of distractions. His caption read:

“Stay authentic to your craft, resilient on your journey, and lift others along with you. Be the Standout Swift. Are you ready to soar together?”

This thoughtful post quickly caught the attention of his fans, who praised Davido for his maturity and for promoting a message of unity and self-growth. His words encourage others to not only strive for success but to bring others along on the journey, a testament to his character and leadership in the music industry.

In choosing the high road, Davido showed that sometimes, silence and strength speak louder than words. What do you think of Davido’s message?
