The Nigerian music industry is abuzz with controversy as Grammy Award-winning singer, Wizkid, has launched a blistering attack on fellow Afrobeats sensation, Davido, on social media.
Wizkid’s Scathing Posts
On his official X page, Wizkid alleged that Nigeria’s wealthy elite have exploited poverty to manipulate the masses into “worshiping” them. He specifically targeted Davido, questioning his musical prowess, fashion sense, and financial success.
Wizkid claimed superiority, stating:
-
“You’re not as fly as me.”
-
“Can’t sing or make music like me.”
-
“You don’t make more money than me.”
-
“You don’t even have shoes like me.”
Labeling Davido a “spoilt rich kid,” Wizkid also criticized his charging rates, implying they’re lower than those of their colleagues.
Social Media Reacts
The online community is divided, with fans of both artists defending their favorites. Some have praised Wizkid’s bold statements, while others see the outburst as unnecessary and petty.
The feud has sparked conversations about class, privilege, and the music industry’s dynamics.
Industry Implications
This public disagreement may have far-reaching implications for the Nigerian music scene, potentially affecting collaborations and relationships among artists.
As the drama unfolds, fans and observers await Davido’s response and the potential repercussions of Wizkid’s provocative statements.
