Netizens react as Wizkid resumes caustic war of words with Davido

Social media is experiencing a meltdown of some sort after Nigerian musician, Ayo Balogun aka Wizkid resumed throwing a new barrage of insults directed at David Adeleke aka Davido.

Trouble started on October 1, 2024, when Wizkid posted a subliminal message on the microblogging app X saying, “Beg me! Just like…’’ However, It didn’t take long for his followers and other X users to figure out that the message was a hint at a Davido viral video.

His initial post caused a stir in the comments section, provoking a range of responses from both his and Davido’s followers. But the singer didn’t end there.

A fan of Wizkid tweeted at him saying: “Wiz at this point, anytime you like, you drop the Album. Na dem need us,” and in response, the singer said, “Bingos got nothing on starboy General!! till infinity.”

In his reply to the comment made by the fan, Wizkid replied saying; “Frogido!,” which was detected as another indirect shade directed at his colleague, Davido.

“Pussy boys dropping mids again! 80 trash ! We got 80 albums for any song y’all drop! Pussy boys!” Wizkid wrote again.

The name-calling by Wizkid has forced Nigerians to react to the ongoing feud between the pair who have both had a tumultuous relationship dating back to 2014.

Daniel Regha wrote, “Wizkid claims Davido is a “wack” artiste with ‘no talent’, but forgets one thing he (Wizkid) wouldn’t be where he is today without Davido. His rivalry with the ‘No talent’ artiste keeps his relevance to this day. And lyrically speaking, none is superior to the other.”

“Wizkid, you can’t be talking about ‘mids’ when you yourself have not dropped a hit song for years; And mind your language,” he concluded.

OAP Do2dtun wrote thus on X, “This is the longest rivalry in the history of Nigerian entertainment. We are tired!”

“Fan banters, we know as we dey do am as fans. But you and your fcked up team have been doing this sh!t for years. Thinking “Wizkid no go talk” as usual, na there una miscalculate this time. Obsessed niggga,” said an X user.

“Wizkid will be on his own smoking Igbo & eating suya but this other guy’s camp will be shading and insulting him If he decides to talk, y’all will say ‘he started it, he’s looking for clouting, he’s too troublesome’. Hypocrites!!!!!!” Another X user wrote.
