The enduring rivalry between Nigerian music artists Wizkid and Davido has elicited a response from talent manager Paulo Okoye, who has made a public appeal for reconciliation between the two musicians.
The situation escalated on Monday night when Wizkid sparked new controversy following a comment from a user on X, who challenged his ability to release a song without disparaging Davido.
In a passionate retort, Wizkid directed both subtle and overt criticisms at Davido, further intensifying the discord between the two performers.
In light of the ongoing conflict, Paulo Okoye has called for an end to the public dispute. In a sincere message shared on social media, he urged both artists to set aside their differences, cautioning them about the potential for future regret if they persist in their current course.
“Wahala Wahala
Can you guys stop?
You say something you regret in 20 years for what?
Views & Fans you don’t know.
Shameful. Just stop guys,” he wrote.
In other news, Nigerian music superstar Wizkid has continued to express his disdain for fellow artist Davido, taking every opportunity to criticize and belittle him. The ongoing feud between the two prominent musicians has escalated further, drawing attention across social media platforms.
Recently, an incident reignited their rivalry when a video clip was shared on X (formerly Twitter) showcasing a brief and seemingly cordial interaction between Wizkid and Davido at a public event. In the video, the two were seen exchanging greetings, sparking curiosity among fans who thought the two might have settled their differences. However, a netizen accompanying the post implied that Wizkid must be secretly wishing for more moments like that encounter, suggesting a longing for reconciliation.
In response, Wizkid wasted no time confirming the user’s speculation but took it a step further by delving into details of what transpired that day. According to him, the scenario was not as it appeared on the surface. Wizkid alleged that Davido and his entourage had crashed his DJ’s party in Lagos, showing up uninvited. He claimed that the appearance was not a friendly gesture but an intrusion on what was meant to be a private event.
Wizkid further asserted that Davido’s behavior was nothing new, alleging that the singer frequently sought him out wherever he went, describing him dismissively as his “fanboy.” He insisted that Davido’s efforts to connect with him were not genuine and were only attempts to gain attention or relevance in settings where Wizkid was already making headlines.
The harsh words from Wizkid have only added fuel to the already intense rivalry between the two musicians. Fans of both artists have been divided, with some siding with Wizkid for his candor, while others criticize him for taking unnecessary jabs at Davido. The situation has led to a social media storm, with hashtags related to both artists trending as supporters and critics weigh in on the unfolding drama.
Despite the tensions, it remains unclear if the rivalry will deescalate anytime soon or if this is merely another chapter in their long-standing competition. For now, the public can only watch and wait to see what happens next in this ongoing clash between two of Nigeria’s biggest musical icons.
In his words:
“Want what? He looks for me everywhere I go like a fan boy he his! This was an event for one of my Dj’s Skyla in Lagos! We no invite dem!”
