Afrobeats superstar Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has escalated his ongoing feud with fellow artist Davido, taking their rivalry to a personal level by throwing shade at Davido\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Ojuelegba hitmaker appeared to aim a fresh jab at Davido\u2019s uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, in a tweet on Wednesday afternoon. Governor Adeleke, often dubbed the \u201cDancing Governor\u201d due to his viral dance videos, became the target of Wizkid\u2019s subtle shade.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wizkid, who had begun criticizing Davido earlier in the week, calling him \u201cwack\u201d and \u201ctalentless,\u201d intensified the attack by referencing Davido\u2019s family. In a tweet posted on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, Wizkid wrote, \u201cWhen you see people whose parents and family trained them, you\u2019ll know! You don\u2019t see my uncle dancing online!\u201d The comment was widely interpreted as a direct dig at Governor Adeleke, known for his energetic dance performances, both during his campaigns and in personal moments shared on social media.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wizkid didn\u2019t stop there. Over the past few days, he has unleashed a barrage of criticisms aimed at Davido. In one post, he declared, \u201cThe music industry is tired of overhyped artists with no real talent,\u201d a comment fans quickly interpreted as a shot at Davido, who is often considered one of the most popular but polarizing figures in Afrobeats.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wizkid further taunted Davido\u2019s musical skills, saying, \u201cSome people are only famous because they were born into wealth. Talent is what truly counts in this game.\u201d This was seen as a clear reference to Davido, whose father is a wealthy Nigerian businessman. Wizkid\u2019s jabs appear to call into question Davido\u2019s authenticity as a self-made artist, implying that his career was largely boosted by his family\u2019s financial resources.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He also went on to criticize Davido\u2019s musical prowess, writing, \u201cReal music is timeless. Not all that noise you hear nowadays,\u201d seemingly discrediting Davido\u2019s more upbeat, party-oriented tracks that have dominated airwaves in recent years.<\/p>\n

Despite the public and personal nature of Wizkid\u2019s attacks, Davido has yet to respond to any of the criticisms. Known for his confident personality and bold statements, fans are waiting to see whether the DMW boss will engage or choose to remain silent, letting the comments fade away. Some speculate that Davido may not want to fan the flames further, given Wizkid\u2019s decision to involve family members.<\/p>\n

Wizkid and Davido have had an off-and-on rivalry that has spanned several years. Although both artists have occasionally expressed mutual respect, tensions frequently resurface, driven by fan comparisons and their status as two of Nigeria\u2019s top music exports. Over the years, the rivalry has largely stayed within the professional realm, but Wizkid\u2019s latest comments about Davido\u2019s family represent a new low point in their public exchanges.<\/p>\n

Wizkid\u2019s statements have sparked widespread reactions on social media. While some fans of Wizkid are praising him for speaking his mind, many are criticizing the singer for what they perceive as unnecessary attacks on a fellow artist and a political figure. Supporters of Davido, in particular, are pushing back, defending their favorite star\u2019s talent and achievements, calling Wizkid’s comments “unprovoked” and “childish.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There\u2019s also concern over the involvement of Governor Adeleke, a political leader with responsibilities beyond his personal life, and how this feud could reflect on public discourse.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whether Davido will respond or choose to rise above the situation remains to be seen, but Wizkid\u2019s remarks have undoubtedly added fuel to their already tense relationship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
