Award-winning Nigerian music star Wizkid has reignited his long-standing rivalry with fellow Afrobeats sensation Davido, creating a buzz on social media. The feud resurfaced when Wizkid announced the release of his first single of the year through a series of provocative tweets on X (formerly Twitter).
In a pointed exchange, one user questioned Wizkid’s motives, suggesting that he was only dissing Davido to boost his song’s sales. Wizkid wasted no time dismissing the accusation, stating, “I don’t beef with wack niggas,” and proceeded to criticize Davido’s talent. He coined a derogatory nickname for his rival, referring to him as “Frigodo,” and added, “Bingos got nothing on Starboy General till Infinity.”
This latest skirmish marks just another chapter in the ongoing battle between the two music giants. Their rivalry, which has seen various highs and lows over the years, has escalated in recent months, especially following a series of controversial statements from Wizkid.
As tensions mounted, both artists began to delve into each other’s personal lives. Davido made serious allegations against Wizkid, claiming he had domestically abused his girlfriend and baby mama, Jada Pollock. In retaliation, Wizkid mocked Davido’s infidelity, suggesting the “FEM” hitmaker was desperate for attention from his side chicks.
The insults didn’t stop there. Wizkid took a jab at Davido’s recent foray into cryptocurrency, following the latter’s launch of a meme coin. Wizkid advised his fans to “work smart so as not to hustle like a fool,” insinuating that Davido’s venture was misguided.
Both artists’ followers have been quick to engage in the drama, with many weighing in on the situation. The renewed rivalry has not only attracted the attention of fans but also stirred conversations across various media platforms.
