Once again, the Nigerian music scene which is known for its vibrant culture and sometimes rivalries has been turned upside down, this time, it involves two of its major stars Wizkid and Davido.
It all started when Wizkid put up a cryptic social media post hours after Davido posted his pre-wedding photos. The fans are sketchy about what was tweeted by the person in question due to the moment he made the tweet. This has left tweeps speculating and arguing back and forth on social media.
A few hours after sharing his pre-wedding photos, Davido released on various platforms which were received warmly, Wizkid went to Twitter with a tweet that since then has gone viral. In no time, over 2 million viewers checked out the message that was posted on X (formerly referred to as Twitter).
Wizkid’s tweet was very short but spoke volumes. While not directly mentioning anything about David’s tweet, timing speaks louder than words in most cases. Several fans and observers also interpreted it as some kind of shade against Davido which further fuels an ongoing rivalry between these two artists. The tweet reads: ‘Saying a prayer for every understanding woman on earth! Your king loves you‘.
Fans instantly reacted strongly to this development. Most people were clearly not okay with it because they thought it was an unnecessary insult to a label owner during his joyful moment at DMW. Social media sites became awash with comments and arguments as supporters of both artists continue to throw tantrums at each other.
It doesn’t change the fact that, the relationship between Wizkid and Davido has always been complex, marked by both collaboration and competition. Their fanbases have often been at odds, fuelling small thing between them.
Both Wizkid and Davido have a history of bouncing back from controversies, and it is likely that this incident will soon be overshadowed by their future projects.
