Just like football stars, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, the rivalry and comparison between Nigerian pop stars, Wizkid and Davido will probably continue for a long time for different reasons.
The equally and hugely talented music stars are both successful, thus, it may be a herculean task choosing one over the other.
Since the Wizkid/Davido war began, it might not be wrong to say Wizkid seems to be enjoying the buzz the rivalry is creating for his brand, as he seems uninterested in ending the rivalry. Reasons as given by few personalities NET spoke to include Wizkid’s demand for respect from his erstwhile friend, Davido, and a proper apology from the 21 year old, who allegedly connected with several entertainers as a result of his association with Wizkid years ago.
Keen followers of the events that have occurred between Wizkid and Davido recently may wonder what explanation can be given to Wizkid’s tweets, which allegedly insulted Davido.
Shortly before the hostilities began some weeks ago, sources divulged that Wizkid, Davido and other artistes such as Flavour, KCEE, Harrysong and popular hypeman Special Ed had a good time at the airport before embarking on a trip to New York.
However, it took many by surprise when the two kicked off Twitter rants and throwing what had been described as ‘shade’ at each other without calling out any names.
Another reason why it might become almost impossible for Wizkid to forgive Davido might be an alleged act of betrayal that Wizkid felt during the D’Banj and Don Jazzy breakup.
‘Wizkid felt betrayed by Davido that he pitched his tent with D’Banj and couldn’t believe his friend could leave their much older friend, Wande Coal, who at that pitched his tent with Don Jazzy,’ a close source told Nigerian Entertainment Today.
It has been noted that since the two began hostilities towards each other, Wizkid has not posted an apology tweet to his fans, while Davido is always quick to apologize after several minutes of Twitter rants.
In their last exchange while both were in New York, Davido was quick to tweet about forgetting the entire exchange of words as he intends to continue his music, but rather than remain silent or tweet an apology to fans, Wizkid threw another shot at the 21 year old singer.
Meanwhile, it is being peddled about that the tweet fights and hostilities might have not degenerated to this level if Davido had not left a bad taste in Wizkid’s mouth after allegedly abandoning him at a night club, which he invited him to three years back.
Before the two became rivals, allegations were rife that Davido and his HKN crew had allegedly invited Wizkid to the club only to abandon him to pay the bills and find his way home himself.
Even as older colleagues tried to wade into the rivalry, KCee in a chat with Nigerian Entertainment Today said the beef was needed to keep the industry booming. In his words, ‘I really don’t know what to say about it or where its coming from.
It happens, even in America you need stunts like this to keep the industry burning, so I don’t think it’s a big deal, because on the long run they’ll eventually make peace.’...
