What began as a friendly competition between two rising stars evolved into a ten-year saga marked by moments of collaboration, contention, and everything in between. It’s essential to acknowledge that news production incurs expenses, and we take pride in never placing our stories behind a prohibitive paywall.

It all began with a seemingly innocuous tweet from Wizkid on 28 July 2014, sent out after his electrifying performance in New York City and ahead of his highly anticipated show in London. The event, held at the Ocean View venue in Victoria Island, showcased the best of Afrobeats and brought together top artistes from across the industry. For fans who had long dreamed of seeing these two titans of Nigerian music share a stage, the moment was legendary as Davido and Wizkid delivered unforgettable performances.For a moment, we thought this newfound peace had come to stay. Little did we know that we were in for another ride. Their rivalry reached unprecedented levels in 2017.

Yet, the war of words continued unabated. On 5 July 2017, Wizkid took to Twitter to deliver a playful yet pointed jab at Davido. With a sly reference to Davido’s American citizenship, Wizkid quipped, “My people, remember to say Yankee passport no be baba blue, e no dey cure frog voice.” The tweet sparked a frenzy of reactions, with fans eagerly dissecting the implications of Wizkid’s words.

For instance, when Davido lost his three-year-old son, Ifeanyi, on 31 October 2022, Wizkid sent his condolences, and Davido did likewise when Wizkid lost his mother on 18 August 2023.
