As Afrobeats continues its global domination, two of its biggest stars, Wizkid and Davido, are reigniting an old rivalry that many hoped was behind them.
With echoes of past legendary music feuds, the once-friendly tension has taken a turn, sparking new controversy in the Afrobeats scene. Will this reignited feud overshadow the legacy they've built or bring Afrobeats to new heights?
In the aftermath settlement of Afrobeats to the world scene, after all, is said and done where the scars from the past have to be hidden, letting bygones be bygones... as the world is dropping flowers to the feet of Afrobeats sounds.
Two popular Afrobeats kings are on the verge of repeating what we have left behind in the entertainment lifestyle since it leads to a "No Victor, no no-Vanquish situation" like where you and I have to count our losses, especially when we think about 2Pac's and Notorious BIG demise from the world space due to rivalry.
As Ayo Wizkid Balogun, a respective MVP of Afrobeats, who is tagged a king by his lovers and fans, traces his success from a humble beginning to a brand of Afrotainment, bagging the accolades of the big plaque of the Grammys, well respected from the streets of Surulere to London takes a swipe on David Davido Adeleke, who is loved by his fans and followers for being an Afrotainment baller with huge heart from humanity, accessible to all and a free spirit without wearing the tag of "I AM FROM THE RICH CLASS ... STAY ON YOUR LANE".
Aside from the sold-out shows/concerts, awards, and charisma, Ayo Wizkid Balogun at a point in his career developed a particular composure of "STEEZE" where he just wants to relate to Afro, appreciate nature, the blessings and grace upon his life, nack wetin no good as he expressed from his album title: MORE LOVE LESS EGO.
On the other hand, Davido just wants to relate, understand, and catch the vibe of a rich kid envisioning trenches, creating lasting memories in your head when he crosses your parts in life as he has empowered so many through his charitable acts
These are two unique individuals from the West Coast of Nigeria, dominating the scene with their diverse artistry in Afro-Yoruba culture.
If you are an optimist, you would envision a perfect scene where they would bromance with emotions tied to their related ancestral roots, but no reverse is the case!
Over, the two kings have won emotions anytime they meet and show what critics would call "entertainment love" to each other like the way they showed at the Davido 2018 30BG show held in Lagos giving spectators the impression that a long-time rivalry and beef has been squashed.
Oh No, we were all wrong! 6 years after evidence has been flying over the kings still send a signal of "I NO SEND YOUR PAPA" to each other.
At this moment you read this, Wizkid finally lost all steeze and composure as he has come out all straight for Davido with uttered words like:
"When u see people wey dem papa and family train u go know! U don’t see my uncle dancing online!"
"E no go better for davido and his feelings!
With words like these uttered from Wizkid to Davido at a time he is set to drop an album, do you think it's a direct confrontation to his supposed rival on who is the true king or a publicity stunt to promote his new album?
