In the latest twist of the ongoing saga between Nigerian music sensations Wizkid and Davido, tensions have reached new heights with a fiery exchange on social media.

The confrontation began when Wizkid, renowned for his chart-topping hits, uploaded a diss video targeting Davido, setting off a storm of speculation among fans and industry insiders alike.

Davido, on Monday evening, took to the X platform to deliver what seemed like a subtle jab at Wizkid, suggesting that his songs are no longer as popular as they once were, stating, “Dem no know ur gbedu [music] again.”

Wizkid responded cryptically, expressing frustration with the situation: “U know what..no point. delusional niggas pray for y’all.”

Davido didn’t hold back, directly quoting Wizkid’s post and labeling him a “sick man,” in retaliation to Wizkid’s earlier remark about them being delusional.

Wizkid further shared the controversial video targeting Davido, reigniting tensions between the two superstars.

Davido, not one to back down, quoted the video in a tweet expressing regret over his investments in resurrecting Wizkid’s career, only to see it falter once again.

He wrote “That’s what I thought. Nothing to say! Exactly why I stopped wasting my clout and jeopardizing my millions of USD of endorsements on someone whose career was resurrected a few years ago just to die again. NEXT!!”

The online feud between musical icons Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, and David Adedeji, also known as Davido, escalated on Monday night.

Wizkid threw shade at Davido by posting a leaked video of him allegedly pleading with a female associate, in response to a fan’s request for new music.

Additionally, Wizkid dismissed the Grammy award-winning singer Don Jazzy as merely an ‘influencer’.

This sparked controversy on social media, with many speculating about the underlying issues between the two artists.

On Monday night, Davido countered the digital jabs thrown by Wizkid with a barrage of cryptic tweets, seemingly aimed at the “Ojuelegba” hitmaker.

In one tweet, Davido quipped, “Dem no know your Gbedu,” presumably directed at Wizkid, who had previously announced plans to release his highly anticipated “Morayo” album in May.

Undeterred, the “Aiye” singer continued with another tweet stating, “When light comes, darkness vanishes. Let’s get active,” further fueling speculation about the ongoing rivalry between the two musical heavyweights.

Adding to the mix, Davido shared a video featuring his wife, Chioma Adeleke, accompanied by the caption, “They were trying to distract us, baby no mind dem.”

In retaliation, Wizkid began with a scathing tweet, ridiculing Davido and his entourage, including his alleged songwriter, and dismissing their musical achievements.

He wrote “U and all ur crew plus ur pant washer songwriter go to sleep at night thinking you got anything on me in music 🤣😂 wish u all well ✌️”

He followed it up with another tweet, “U know what..no point. delusional niggas 😇 pray for y’all.”

Davido swiftly responded, denying any delusion and accusing Wizkid of being “sick.”

He wrote “WE NOT DELUSIONAL YOU’RE A SICK MAN. ”

Despite their recent friendly encounter, the tension between the two superstars escalated further when the “Jaiye Jaiye” crooner, Wizkid, fearlessly reposted the tweet along with the same leaked video of Davido.

This rift comes as a surprise to many, especially considering their recent public display of camaraderie when they were spotted embracing in a Lagos nightclub.

Prior to this reconciliation, Wizkid had even announced plans for a joint tour with his rival back in 2023.

Taking to his Instagram story, he revealed that the tour would follow the release of his fifth studio album, ‘More Love, Less Ego (MLLE)’, which debuted in mid-2023.

He wrote “After my MLLE tour!! Davido and I going on tour! save your coins! I no wan hear him.”

While celebrated as Nigeria’s top musical exports, Wizkid and Davido’s relationship has frequently been marked by frostiness and discord.

Comedian Debo Adedayo, popularly recognized as Mr Macaroni, has criticized singer Wizkid for his recent comments targeting esteemed music producer and industry veteran, Don Jazzy.

Wizkid’s remarks were prompted by shade directed at him by Ladipoe, an artist signed under Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records label.

In response, Wizkid asserted his decision not to engage with artists affiliated with influencer-backed labels.

The singer’s statements have sparked debate, with some interpreting them as implying that Don Jazzy’s influence is primarily confined to social media.

In addition, Wizkid further intensified the discussion by retweeting several posts insinuating that his remarks were aimed at portraying Don Jazzy as solely a social media influencer.

Responding under his X handle on Monday afternoon, Mr Macaroni expressed his disapproval of Wizkid’s characterization of Don Jazzy as merely an influencer.

He emphasized Don Jazzy’s significant influence across various facets of the entertainment industry, including music, content creation, films, and brand partnerships.

Mr Macaroni highlighted Don Jazzy’s invaluable contributions to the Nigerian music industry, describing him as an “absolute legend” who has selflessly supported numerous entertainers regardless of their status.

He wrote: “Donjazzy is perhaps the biggest Entertainment Influencer in Africa. And the beautiful thing is that his influence cuts across. From music, to contents, films, brands etc.

“However, we would all be hypocrites to say that the context in which he was called an influencer isn’t disrespectful to everything he has done and is still doing for the Nigerian Music Industry.

“An absolute legend. He promotes Music Artistes even outside his record label. Gives free advice and visibility to up and coming artists, shows love to everyone irrespective of their status. I am also a beneficiary of his phenomenal influence.
