In what seems to be a continuation of the long-standing tension between Afrobeats heavyweights Wizkid and Davido, Wizkid has once again thrown shade at his fellow Nigerian star. In a recent statement, Wizkid didn’t hold back, claiming that Davido is always following him around “like a fanboy.”
Wizkid remarked, “Davido is always following me everywhere I go like a fanboy he is! What does he want? He looks for me everywhere I go! This was an event for one of my DJs, Skyla, in Lagos, and we didn’t invite him!”
The two artists, who have both dominated the Afrobeats scene for over a decade, have had a rocky relationship, with their rivalry often making headlines. While they’ve shared moments of respect for each other, the tension has never fully disappeared. Wizkid’s latest comments seem to add fuel to the fire, suggesting that Davido is trying to get close to him despite their strained relationship.
Wizkid’s remarks came after an event in Lagos that was organized for his DJ, Skyla. According to Wizkid, Davido wasn’t on the guest list but somehow showed up, prompting the comment. Whether this was just another playful jab or something more serious, fans of both artists are once again divided, with some taking sides in this latest chapter of the Wizkid-Davido saga.
As two of the biggest names in African music, any friction between Wizkid and Davido quickly becomes a talking point for fans across the continent. It remains to be seen if Davido will respond to Wizkid’s claims, but one thing’s for sure—this rivalry is far from over.
