A new rivalry is quickly escalating between two prominent fan groups, 30GB and Wizkid FC, as their leaders, Nigerian music superstars Davido and Wizkid, battle for dominance on streaming platforms. On December 6, Davido dropped his much-anticipated second single of 2024, “Funds,” featuring fellow artists Odumodublvck and Chike. The release of this track has set off a fierce competition between the two fanbases, as both artists look to maintain their position at the top of the Nigerian music scene.
The release of “Funds” comes just weeks after Davido’s first single of the year, following a period of anticipation about his next big move in music. The track, which blends elements of Afrobeats with contemporary sounds, quickly became a hot topic across social media and music platforms. Within hours of its debut, “Funds” shot to the top of the charts on both Apple Music and iTunes, marking another significant milestone in Davido’s career.
In addition to the excitement around the single, Davido made a major announcement regarding his upcoming album, slated for release in 2025. The album is already generating considerable buzz, with fans eagerly speculating about the musical direction he will take in the years to come. The news adds further momentum to the ongoing discussion between fans of the two artists.
However, the success of “Funds” hasn’t come without controversy. Davido’s new track has overshadowed recent releases from Wizkid, particularly his singles “Kese Dance” and “Bad Girl,” both of which had been climbing the streaming charts. As a result, fans from both sides are now engaged in a heated rivalry, defending their favorite artists and criticizing one another’s tastes.
On social media, the battle between 30GB and Wizkid FC has intensified, with each fanbase accusing the other of trying to diminish their artist’s success. One fan of Davido tweeted, “Davido continues to prove he’s the king of Afrobeats,” while another added, “Wizkid needs to step up his game if he wants to stay relevant.” On the other hand, Wizkid FC members have reacted strongly to the growing popularity of “Funds,” with some questioning the long-term impact of Davido’s track.
This rivalry isn’t just confined to social media posts; it’s also affecting the streaming landscape. According to sources within the industry, the competition between the two artists is driving up engagement on platforms like Apple Music and Spotify, with users actively searching for both artists’ songs to show their support. A streaming service representative noted, “The competition between these two superstars is creating a ripple effect, where their fanbases are engaging more than ever before.”
