Nigerian music powerhouse Davido has finally responded to the storm of shade and sly remarks hurled his way by fellow superstar Wizkid. The feud reignited when Davido unveiled his upcoming album, “5ive,” and dropped a teaser for his latest single “Fund,” featuring Chike and Odumodu Blvck. What should have been a celebratory moment quickly turned controversial after Wizkid seemingly mocked the announcement with a cryptic laughing emoji on Twitter—a post he later deleted.
This subtle yet provocative jab did not go unnoticed by fans, especially Davido’s die-hard supporters, who called out Wizkid for his dismissive attitude. In a move that exuded confidence and defiance, Davido took to Twitter with a pointed reference to his hit track “Unavailable” from the “Timeless” album, stating:
“And I sorry for who wan, who wan, who wan gbe my matter s’ori.”
In other words, Davido made it clear that he’s unfazed by the drama, standing firm against the noise.
However, the pot continued to stir as Wizkid unleashed another veiled insult on social media, fueling speculations that his cryptic tweet was aimed at Davido. Brimming with disdain, the post suggested that certain Nigerian artists wield their wealth to manipulate their followers, calling out alleged delusions of grandeur. Wizkid didn’t mince words when he declared:
“The only time you’re 001 is when you’re in your house. You’re not 001 of nothing but Instagram followers!”
Fans were quick to dissect the message, interpreting it as a direct dig at Davido’s self-proclaimed title of “001.” The escalating tension has sparked a frenzy within the fandoms, with social media platforms buzzing as #TeamDavido and #TeamWizkid engage in heated debates, questioning loyalty, success, and authenticity.
While Davido remains composed despite Wizkid’s provocations, this exchange has undeniably deepened the rift between two of Nigeria’s biggest musical icons. The question now isn’t just who’s “001” but who will ultimately have the last word in this clash of egos and influence
