Wizkid and Davido Reveal Why Their Tweeter War Won't End

Since the rift between young pop stars Wizkid and Davido kicked off 2 years ago, there have been an endless series of online rants, snide remarks, and a race to outshine one another, and with several accusations and counter accusations flying around, the beef between them seems unending. Interestingly, the last year has been a success story for both Davido and Wizkid, who have churned out several popular songs while amassing wealth, affluence and fame.


Though awards haven’t rolled in yet for Wizkid as many may have expected since the end of 2013, Davido has been basking in several wins and nominations, helping to make their rivalry the most talked about in entertainment circles and among Nigerians. Over the years, several episodes have been recorded in their beef, with the recent and most popular being their Twitter rants. From their Twitter rants, which sparked off a social media war, it’s alleged in some quarters that the insults used by the ‘pop gladiators’ are some of the reasons they might not end the rift anytime soon.

Giving a face to their rift in an interview in New York, United States of America, on Tuesday, August 5, 2014, Davido said, ‘It’s not beef at all. But I’m the type of person if I feel something, to me everything you do, you don’t hit your brother down. This is the first time I’m saying this but the only reason I was upset was because of the NY concert. I was even going to tweet like you know ‘make sure everybody turn up for my brother Wizkid’s concert’ and he threw shade like that.’

Continuing, the HKN lead act said, ‘I’m not going to take that…that’s why I went and said what I said. But it’s all cool, at the end of the day; we got to keep it on the music. Shout out to him. I’m still a big fan. It was never nothing but don’t throw shade at me…especially when we were on the flight earlier. By the way, check the numbers on my last concert. Let’s leave it like that.’

Wizkid didn’t take it cool after the interview, as he took to his Twitter handle in the early hours of Wednesday, August 6, 2014 to once again covertly hit at Davido, referring to him as dumb! ‘Dumb ass niggas catching feelings, we just trynna make it over here, nobody got time for that,’ he tweeted.

All we will say for now on Planet Now is keep the fire burning and give us more gist to write…LOL #JustKidding
