Joey Akan, a highly recognized Nigerian journalist, has called out Wizkid for his remarks aimed at Davido.
The conflict began on Tuesday when Davido announced his first single for 2024, stating it would be a hit.
Wizkid responded on his X page with the message, “P***y boys dropping mid again, una don tire! Make una go rest small!”
The ‘Ojuelegba’ singer didn’t specifically mention Davido, but fans interpreted the tweet as a jab at him.
A fan of Davido reacted, accusing Wizkid of trying to ride on Davido’s popularity for attention.
The user wrote: “So if you no beef @davido your song won’t sell??”
Reacting, Wizkid said: “I don’t beef wack nig*as! We all know he’s wack! No talent!
In a post on X, Joey voiced his frustration with Wizkid, labeling the ongoing conflict as ‘repeated waves of secondhand embarrassment’ and mentioning that nothing has progressed since 1992.
He also took aim at Wizkid for his comments on Davido’s music, claiming that the ‘Essence’ singer hasn’t connected with fans for two years.
Joey remarked that Wizkid’s supporters are looking for a new album, but he is only serving them more beef.
He wrote, “Wizkid dragging Davido doesn’t hit as he’s led to believe by drama-thirsty NPC FCs. It falls flat on its face, more repugnant than entertaining or endearing.
“It just evokes a piercing dose of pity from me. And lingering disappointment from repeated waves of secondhand embarrassment.
“Once again, the moment he descended the Mt Olympus of “Made in Lagos,” and started engaging with mortals again. All he’s succeeded in showing us is a mass realisation that the gods are driven by the same things that drive mortals. Ego. Pettiness. Malice?
“Nothing profound has come from this era so far. Just bile. Vile public attacks. And an insistence in forcing a 1992 beef.
“You can’t be dragging your colleague’s art when yours has lacked connectivity for two years.
“Zero self-awareness. A loss of focus on the pulse of the people. Or a critical of lack of knowledge of the public’s behavioural feedback.
“People dey wait for music, you dey feed us beef. Reading the crowd wrongly.
“Drop for us.”
