Nigerian music icon, Wizkid, has sparked another round of controversy with a series of fiery social media posts, where he appears to have taken shots at fellow superstar Davido, mocking his self-proclaimed title of “001.” Wizkid, in a post on Wednesday via X, said, “The only time u’re 001 is when u’re in your house. U’re not 001 of nothing but Instagram followers!” The Afrobeats heavyweight also took a dig at Davido’s entourage, accusing the singer of surrounding himself with financially dependent individuals, saying, “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, born Ayodeji Balogun, on Wednesday, also appeared to throw taunts at Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, often dubbed the ‘Dancing Governor,’ saying, “When u see people wey dem papa and family train, u go know! U don’t see my uncle dancing online.” This jab is seen by many as a reference to Adeleke, who is known for his exuberant dance moves, often shared on social media. Wizkid didn’t stop there, he responded to claims that Puma, a major global brand, chose to pay Davido more than him.
“No! Puma is a big brand, but the budget they had for Africa wasn’t for me! Was cool for your client tho!” he wrote.
