Wizkid, Mr Jollof Engage In Social Media Feud Over Tour With Davido
Award-winning Afrobeat singer, Ayodeji Balogun better known as Wizkid and comedian Freedom Atsepoyi, a.k.a. Mr Jollof have engaged in a public dispute over the singer’s recent announcement of a potential world tour with fellow musician Davido.
Recall, Biztellers had earlier reported that Wizkid hinted a tour collaboration with Davido.
On his verified Instagram, Wizkid wrote in his story, “After my ‘MLLE (More Love, Less Ego)’ tour!! Davido and I going on tour! save your coins! I no wan hear pim”.
Reacting, Mr Jollof said it was not the best time for Wizkid to announce such as their fans have expected that over ten years ago.
“Na now day break? @Wizkidayo.
“You going on a tour at this point with Davido is not right. It seems like you are riding on his relevance.
”Wizkid plans to perch on OBO’s wing to fly because Davido currently owns the music market,” Mr. Jollof said.
Reacting to the development, Wizkid posted a picture of his children with the caption on Snapchat, “Ladies, if your man is out here begging to feed you and your family, make sure he washes your pant, bra and plates because he is your house help.
Mr. Jollof did not agree with the comment and stated that his relationship with Wizkid was mutual and nothing more. He questioned Wizkid by saying, “Have I begged you for money before?”
Later, he released another video where he asked Wizkid to stop mentioning his family in discussions because he is a responsible man who takes care of his family without relying on anyone else.
“Wizkid has never done anything for me before. When he promised to give me money, he failed and doesn’t reply to my DM aftermath.
“When I engaged my wife in Dubai, he didn’t do anything to assist me yet he comes out to call people poor.
“I’ve helped his career more. To the world, Wizkid helped me but I helped him more. I promoted to become the super star he is now. “Wizkid is not a man,” he ranted.
Meanwhile, Davido’s friend, Cabana Chief Priest and logistics manager Isreal DMW, and other Nigerians have responded to Mr. Jollof’s statement.
isrealdmw said,” What is this again?.
cabana chief priest said,”Jollof dey smoke Igbo.
flexo_off said,”Wizkid said i never give a man more than what he deserves, cause they still the bite the hand that feed them and he was right.
afrikan_special said, “He said his next tour is with Davido, he didn’t say Davido’s next tour is with him. The said tour can be in 2024, 2025, 2026…nobody knows, Wizkid’s waiting game is not here normally, so baba be calm.
istforum9ja said,” Dem don sell expired igbo give you.”
However, in a subsequent video, Mr Jollof apologized to Wizkid for his previous statement and referenced the singer’s song “More Love Less Ego.” He expressed regret if his words had caused offense and emphasized the importance of love over ego, while embracing himself in the video.
Controversial Nigerian singer Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington or Akpi, has been released from Kuje Prison following a court directive.
Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju disclosed this development on Tuesday, stating on X (formerly Twitter), “Speed Darlington is out of Kuje Prison.”
The singer’s release came after an Abuja court granted him bail. This decision followed intense public pressure on the Nigeria Police Force, which led to his arraignment.

Prior to his release, Speed Darlington had petitioned Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Force Intelligence Bureau, DIG Dasuki Galadanchi, over his prolonged detention. He called on the DIG to comply with a court order directing his release or formal arraignment.
Justice M.S. Liman had earlier issued an order on December 23, 2024, mandating the police to charge the singer within 48 hours or release him unconditionally.
Speed Darlington’s arrest stemmed from allegations he made against Grammy Award-winning singer Burna Boy. The singer accused Burna Boy of being involved in an immoral relationship with embattled U.S. rapper and music executive Sean Combs, also known as P. Diddy.
The situation has sparked widespread discussions, with many Nigerians expressing relief at Speed Darlington’s freedom while others continue to debate the circumstances surrounding his arrest.
Veteran Nollywood actor, Dele Odule, has opened up about the most heartbreaking moment of his life, revealing it was when he lost his first child.
The 63-year-old Yoruba movie icon shared the emotional experience during an interview with his colleague, Kunle Afod, recounting how the loss deeply affected him, especially given the challenges surrounding the child’s birth.

Odule described the tragic news as “very hard” to bear, adding that he has since come to accept it as the will of God. Despite the acceptance, the actor expressed his fervent hope never to endure such a devastating tragedy again.
He said, “The saddest moment of my life was when I was called that my first child died. It was very hard on me. It was hard because of the situation faced during the child’s birth, but no one can question God’s authority. It was so bad that I don’t pray for it anymore.”
Known for his roles in classic Yoruba films, Odule continues to share both his professional and personal experiences, endearing himself to fans and colleagues alike.
In early January 2025, Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy fulfilled a promise by gifting $30,000 to Bethel Okechukwu, a phone repairer from Alaba Market who had claimed to be related to socialite Cubana Chief Priest.
This act of generosity occurred amid an ongoing feud between Burna Boy and the Cubana Chief Priest.

Following the donation, Cubana Chief Priest clarified that Bethel Okechukwu is not his brother, stating, “I have only one biological big brother & two kid sisters. They ain’t doing so bad.” He emphasized that he is not obligated to support his siblings financially and urged the public to verify such claims.
As of now, there are no credible reports indicating that Burna Boy instructed Bethel Okechukwu to take any specific actions towards Cubana Chief Priest after receiving the $30,000. The narrative appears to be centered around Burna Boy’s charitable gesture and Cubana Chief Priest’s subsequent clarification regarding his familial relationships.
