The long-standing rivalry between Wizkid and Davido has erupted once again. After Davido teased his upcoming single featuring YG Marley, Wizkid appeared to take a swipe at him, suggesting that some artists are prioritizing quantity over quality in their music.
Wizkid’s comment implied that certain artists are releasing subpar tracks, leading fans to speculate that he was referring to Davido, with whom he had a heated exchange on X a few months ago.
On his X account, Wizkid wrote,
P*ssy boys dropping mids again!
When a user, @CulturalVoice, asked,
So if you don’t beef @davido, your song won’t sell?
Wizkid replied,
I don’t beef wack niggas! We all know he’s wack! No talent!
From chart-topping hits to fiery Twitter disputes, the decade-long rivalry between Nigerian music stars Davido and Wizkid has kept fans engaged. Both artists are among the pioneers of the Afrobeats genre and have become Nigeria’s biggest music exports over the last decade.
They launched their careers almost simultaneously, with Wizkid releasing "Holla At Your Boy" in 2010 and Davido following with "Back When" in 2011. Since then, they have been unstoppable forces, dominating awards, charts, and building passionate fanbases—Wizkid FC and the 30BG gang.
Their influence goes beyond numbers, as their fans exhibit an unwavering dedication reminiscent of a cult following. What began as friendly competition between two rising stars has evolved into a 10-year saga filled with collaboration, contention, and everything in between.
