The ongoing rivalry between two of Nigeria’s biggest Afrobeats stars, Wizkid and Davido, reached new heights last night on X (formerly Twitter) when Wizkid took direct shots at his colleague.
It all began when Wizkid tweeted, “Beg me, like…,” a reference to a video from several months ago in which Davido was seen on his knees, pleading in what appeared to be a staged moment.
The tweet, while cryptic, was enough to ignite Wizkid’s fan base, famously known as Wizkid FC, into a frenzy, applauding the jab aimed at Davido.Wizkid, known for his quick wit on social media, followed up with more provocative tweets.
When one use a line to refer to Davido, Wizkid was quick to engage. He simply replied, “Frogido,” a tweet that further fueled the viral conversation and escalated the taunting between the two fan bases.
However, the night’s most notable moment came when Wizkid responded to a fan’s question, suggesting that Wizkid couldn’t sell music without mentioning Davido. “I don’t need wack ni**as! We all know he’s wack! No talent,” Wizkid fired back, delivering a harsh blow to his long-time rival.
This blunt assessment from Wizkid quickly spread across social media, sparking discussions among fans of both artists.
While Wizkid has often dismissed claims of feuding with Davido, his latest outburst appears to contradict his previous stance of avoiding direct confrontation. This isn’t the first time these two have exchanged subtle digs online, though it has been a while since things got this direct.
Davido, also a heavyweight in Afrobeats, is yet to respond publicly to the tweets, although his fan base, known as 30BG, have come to his defense on social media. As both artists continue to break international boundaries, their fan rivalry remains fierce, adding another layer to the growing global conversation about Afrobeats.
As of now, the only response from Davido’s camp has been silence, but in the world of Afrobeats, things can change with a single tweet or post. The rivalry between these two giants is a reflection of their competitiveness in the music industry, but fans remain hopeful for more collaborations than conflict.
