Nigeria’s music landscape is ablaze with the flare-up between two Afrobeats giants, Wizkid and Davido. The simmering rivalry, which has been a longstanding source of intrigue for fans, took a dramatic turn for the worse as the duo’s simmering disdain for each other erupted into an explosive exchange of words on social media.
On Monday, Wizkid took to his social media to upload a video that seemed to be a tongue-in-cheek jab at Davido, “OBO” himself.
The clip quickly caught fire, circulating rapidly among fans and stoking the flames of this ongoing feud. Within hours, the seemingly innocuous video had become a rallying point for both camps, each eager to stake their claim in the war of words between these two musical titans.
In the turbulent aftermath, Kizz Daniel and Tekno waded into the fray, exchanging verbal blows of their own as the social media landscape became a volatile theater for this celebrity battle royale.
Davido took to X platform to deliver a verbal strike seemingly aimed at Wizkid. On Monday evening, the “Fall” hitmaker fired off a tweet that appeared to be a thinly-veiled swipe at Wizkid’s current musical prowess, suggesting that his rival’s hits no longer resonate with the masses.
Davido’s bold maneuver only served to intensify the already white-hot competition between these two Afrobeats heavyweights, leaving fans to wonder who will emerge victorious from this incendiary clash.
“Dem no know ur gbedu [music] again,” he wrote.
Amid Davido’s series of posts, Wizkid wrote: “U know what..no point. delusional niggas pray for y’all”.
Davido, unyielding in his verbal offensive, responded to Wizkid’s “delusional” comment with a scathing retort. Quoting the “Starboy’s” earlier post, Davido unleashed a searing tirade, branding his adversary a “sick man.”
With this escalating exchange of barbs, the battle lines have been drawn and the feud between these two musical powerhouses shows no signs of abating. The anticipation is palpable as fans eagerly await the next incendiary salvo in this Afrobeats Cold War.
