The Nigerian music industry’s biggest names, Wizkid and Davido, are once again embroiled in a heated social media feud, with Wizkid throwing shade at his fellow musicians. The drama escalated further when Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Wizkid, took to social media to engage in a war of words with his industry colleagues, creating a wave of controversy and backlash.
Earlier in the week, Wizkid had thrown shade at Davido, posting a leaked video of Davido engaging in a seemingly embarrassing situation. Furthermore, he dismissed the well-respected music producer and label owner, Don Jazzy, as an ‘influencer’.
The feud took another turn when Wizkid’s spat with Davido turned towards Davido’s label mate, Peruzzi. Wizkid referred to Peruzzi as a “pant washer song writer” in a post, igniting a direct response from Peruzzi himself, daring Wizkid to swear that he had never sought for his service.
In a separate incident, ex-Big Brother Naija housemates, Doyin and Tacha, joined the fray, slamming Wizkid for ‘chasing clout’ and disrespecting Don Jazzy on social media. Doyin criticized Wizkid for what she perceived as an attempt to garner attention and advised him to focus on releasing music. Tacha also warned Wizkid against any disrespect towards Don Jazzy.
The drama continued with Davido dropping a series of cryptic tweets believed to be responses to Wizkid’s provocations.
The social media feud has generated significant attention and sparked discussions among fans and industry insiders. As the drama unfolds, it remains to be seen whether the tensions will escalate further or if the involved parties will find a way to reconcile.
The Nigerian music industry has been no stranger to publicized disagreements and controversies among its leading figures. While the clashes between Wizkid and Davido are not new, the intensity and the involvement of other industry players, such as Peruzzi and Don Jazzy, have added new dimensions to the ongoing saga.
As fans and followers eagerly await the next developments, the unfolding drama underscores the intricate dynamics within the Nigerian music scene and serves as a reminder of the ongoing rivalry and tensions among its prominent artists.
