Wizkid and Davido

Davido Clears the Air on Relationship with Wizkid: “We Are Not Fighting”

Afrobeat superstar Davido has put to rest rumours of a feud between him and fellow artist Wizkid, clarifying that there is no bad blood between the two.

In a recent interview with BBC Radio, Davido explained the reason behind his decision to spend time with Wizkid shortly before releasing his Timeless album in 2023. According to the singer, the meet-up was meant to demonstrate to fans that there was no ongoing conflict between them and to ensure the album launch remained free of drama.

A video clip of the interview, posted on Instagram by bwetv.ng, shows Davido discussing how he proactively reached out to his fan base to avoid any altercations with Wizkid’s supporters, known as FC. He shared how he connected with a key fan to help maintain peace in the lead-up to the album’s release.

“I reached out to one of my fans, Tomiwa—he’s the guy that can get through to everybody,” Davido recalled. “I told him, ‘Look, my album is coming out on Thursday. Please don’t engage with Wizkid’s fans. We’re not fighting. I was with Wizkid a couple of days ago, so there’s no issue. I just want my album to launch clean.’”

Despite his efforts, the singer mentioned that things didn’t go entirely to plan. “Tomiwa still got into it, and my album leaked two days before the release. But at the end of the day, these fans are amazing – they have their positive sides too,” he added.

Davido’s remarks serve to highlight the mutual respect between the two Afrobeat giants, as well as his desire to keep the focus on the music, free from unnecessary drama.
