Wizkid recently criticized Davido on social media, reigniting the feud. This happened after Davido teased his upcoming single. Wizkid’s associate, Black Tycoone, seemingly mocked Wizkid for the delay in his album release.
“Tell your Daddy to drop an album already.”
The singer then took to X (formerly Twitter) to throw shade at Davido’s camp, writing, “P***y boys dropping mid again,” followed by, “Una don tire! Make una go rest small!”
Although he didn’t name Davido directly, fans quickly saw the post as a dig at the “Feel” singer.
One fan, defending Davido, accused Wizkid of using their rivalry to gain attention, tweeting, “So if you no beef @davido, your song won’t sell?”
Wizkid swiftly denied clout-chasing accusations, instead launching a scathing attack on Davido’s talent. “I don’t beef wack niggas! We all know he’s wack! No talent!” he retorted.
Davido, however, remained silent on Wizkid’s jabs, choosing to focus on promoting his other projects across social media.
