Popular Nigerian singer Ayo Balogun who is better known as Wizkid, has taken a subtle dig at his supposed rival in the music industry, Davido, and his Governor uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun state in a cryptic social media post.
“When u see people wey dem papa and family train u go know! U don’t see my uncle dancing online !” Ayo Balogun posted on his Twitter page on Wednesday.
While it is unclear what might have trigged this latest outburst from the Ojuelegba crooner in the last 24 hours, fans have hailed him for finally saying publicly what some people think about Davido and his talent as a musician, and also his Governor uncle…others on the other side of the divide, mostly fans of Davido, have labeled the outbursts by Ayo Balogun as him trying to use Davido as a strategy to promote his upcoming album…ouch!!
The latest outburst coming from Ayo Balogun is coming just months after he clashed with Davido on X (formerly Twitter), with Wizkid previously mocking Davido and Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy, in May.
At the time, Wizkid dismissed Don Jazzy as an “influencer” and shared a video of Davido on his knees, pleading for new music.
However, the drama resurfaced on Tuesday after Davido teased a snippet of his first single for 2024. Wizkid had also planned to release the first track of his highly anticipated “Morayo” album on the same day.
In a twist, Davido’s associate, Kayode Yajaur, popularly known as Black Tycoone, took a jab at Wizkid, seemingly mocking the delay in his album drop. He tweeted, “Tell your Daddy to drop an album already.”
Unfazed, the Grammy award-winning singer responded by throwing shade at Davido’s camp, writing on X, “P***y boys dropping mid again,” before adding, “Una don tire! Make una go rest small!”
Although Wizkid refrained from directly naming Davido, fans were quick to interpret the post as a clear shot at the ‘Fem’ crooner.
In defence of Davido, a fan hit back at Wizkid, accusing him of chasing clout by roping Davido into his online drama. “So if you no beef @davido, your song won’t sell?” the user tweeted.
Wizkid wasted no time in firing back, stating, “I don’t beef wack niggas! We all know he’s wack! No talent!”
Refusing to let the matter die, Wizkid continued his tirade, dismissing Davido’s entire discography as “trash” and bragging about his own musical prowess. “80 trash! We got 80 albums for any song y’all drop! P***y boys!” he added.
Despite Wizkid’s relentless jabs, Davido has remained silent.
Speculation is rife that the latest tension may have been sparked by Davido’s recent performance at Tony Elumelu’s UBA anniversary in the United States. While Davido entertained the guests and posed for pictures with the billionaire businessman, Wizkid, who is a UBA brand ambassador, was conspicuously absent from the event.
The back-and-forth has generated several reactions on social media, with fans and celebrities weighing in on the feud.
