‘You’re Only 001 In Your House’ – Wizkid Again Shades Davido
Nigerian music superstar Wizkid has once again ignited controversy by taking direct shots at his longtime rival, Davido, in a series of heated social media posts.
The Grammy-winning artist, whose real name is Ayodeji Balogun, took to X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday to mock Davido’s self-proclaimed title of “001,” claiming that the only place Davido holds that title is in his own home.
Wizkid’s post read: “The only time u’re 001 is when u’re in your house. U’re not 001 of nothing but Instagram followers!” The Afrobeats star didn’t stop there, taking aim at Davido’s entourage, accusing him of using his wealth to manipulate those around him.
He claimed that Davido surrounds himself with financially dependent individuals, stating: “Naija is a place the rich weaponize poverty so u carry all these broke boys in real life and get them visas so they worship u.”

Wizkid also appeared to take a swipe at Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, Davido’s uncle, who is often referred to as the “Dancing Governor” for his frequent dance displays on social media. Wizkid wrote: “When u see people wey dem papa and family train, u go know! U don’t see my uncle dancing online,” a thinly veiled reference to Adeleke’s public persona.
The social media outburst continued as Wizkid responded to claims about a recent Puma endorsement deal. Rumors suggested that Puma paid Davido more than Wizkid, to which Wizkid fired back, saying: “No! Puma is a big brand, but the budget they had for Africa wasn’t for me! Was cool for your client tho!”
He went on to clarify that he had turned down the offer because the brand couldn’t meet his financial demands: “I turned down Puma cos they could no longer afford to pay me cos I wanted more! Don’t need dat! Way bigger than every artiste u just mentioned!”
The feud also extended to Nelson Epega, CEO of Chatter, a social audio-visual platform, who criticized Wizkid’s behavior. Epega described Wizkid as an “uncontrollable psychopath” and praised Davido’s popularity.
Wizkid retaliated, claiming Epega couldn’t afford him: “First off, you can’t afford me fool! You are doing business with the right person you can afford!”
Wizkid went on to further taunt Davido’s musical abilities, saying: “You’re not as fly as me, can’t sing or make music like me, u don’t make more money than me.” He also took jabs at Davido’s inner circle, labeling his entourage as “broke” and calling his lawyer a “dumb ass” for constantly being around him.
This latest exchange has once again reignited the long-standing rivalry between two of Afrobeats’ biggest stars, stirring widespread reactions on social media.
Fans of both artists have taken sides, fueling debates and discussions across multiple platforms. With tensions running high, many are wondering whether the feud will escalate further or eventually fizzle out.
As the battle for supremacy in the Afrobeats world continues, the rivalry between Wizkid and Davido remains a hot topic in Nigerian entertainment, captivating fans and drawing attention to the dynamic and often dramatic relationships within the industry.

The actress expressed sadness over the reports, particularly the number of social media accounts allegedly created to circulate the false claim.
Appealing to her followers, Kadiri urged them not to engage with the pages spreading the rumour but to report them.
She said, “Please note that I am alive. I did not have any accident, and I am safe.”
The actress further expressed concern over what she described as the disturbing lengths some people go to on social media to hurt others.
“I am alive!! Please help me report. Please, I’m begging you, help me report it!! Any page that carries such news,” she said.
Kadiri added that she was saddened by the false reports and appealed to those behind them to leave her alone.
The actress’ clarification comes amid the continued spread of fake death reports involving celebrities and other public figures across social media platforms.
Controversial social media commentator, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has reacted to reports that Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has allegedly returned to the home of her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, following their recent marital controversy.
Otse made his position known in a video shared on his Facebook page on Saturday, where he questioned the reported return and recalled the backlash he received from some Nigerians during the earlier controversy involving the actress and her husband.

VDM said he wanted to see those who previously criticised him return to make posts about the latest development, recalling that he had been insulted and accused of hating women.
He also questioned claims that Regina Daniels returned because of her children.
“Some are saying she only went back because of her children. Didn’t she see the children when she left? Why didn’t she care so much about them then?”
The social media commentator further questioned whether Regina would have returned if Ned Nwoko were not a wealthy man.
“If Ned Nwoko Were A Poor Man, Would She Come Back?”
VDM also suggested that Regina may have returned after realising that life outside the marriage was not what she expected.
“She Saw That There Was Nothing Outside, That’s Why She Came Back.”
In another post accompanying his reaction, Otse wrote: “As seen on social media Regina Daniels is back home to SEN NED NWOKO… or rather PA NED according to emotional Nigerians then.”
However, the report of Regina Daniels’ return has not been independently confirmed by the actress or Ned Nwoko.

Sean “Diddy” Combs could be released from prison earlier than previously expected after his projected release date was moved forward again.
According to the latest listing from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons, the 56-year-old music mogul is now projected to leave the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey, on February 5, 2028.
The latest adjustment moves his projected release date forward by more than two weeks from the previously listed date of February 20, 2028.

Combs’ release date has reportedly been revised several times since he began serving his 50-month federal prison sentence in October 2025.
His initial projected release date was June 2028 before subsequent changes moved it forward to April, February and January. It was later adjusted to February 20, 2028, before the latest change to February 5.
The reason for the repeated changes remains unclear.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons has previously said it does not comment on individual inmates’ confinement conditions, release plans or the reasons behind changes to projected release dates, citing privacy, safety and security concerns.
Diddy’s Prison Sentence
Combs is serving his sentence after a federal jury found him guilty in 2025 on two counts of transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution.
However, he was acquitted of the more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
A judge subsequently sentenced the rapper and entertainment executive to four years and two months in prison, followed by five years of supervised release.
Reported Altercation at Fort Dix
The latest release-date adjustment comes weeks after reports that Combs was involved in an altercation with another inmate at the New Jersey prison.
Reports cited by the Daily Mail alleged that Combs and the inmate initially pushed each other before punches were exchanged. Guards reportedly intervened, and Combs was subsequently placed in solitary confinement.
Prison officials have not publicly confirmed the details of the alleged incident.
Combs’ representatives have previously denied reports that he violated prison rules, maintaining that the Bad Boy Entertainment founder was focused on sobriety, self-discipline and personal growth while serving his sentence.
For now, the Bureau of Prisons lists February 5, 2028, as Combs’ projected release date.
However, the date could still change.
