Wizkid and Davido have been at the forefront of friendly rivalry in the Nigerian music scene. The latest development saw Wizkid, also known as Whiskeyd, acquiring a luxurious Ferrari SF90 worth a staggering 1.4 billion naira. While many congratulated him, some of his fans couldn’t resist challenging Davido, his male music counterpart.
On Twitter, a fervent supporter of Wizkid, Dami4in, shared the news of Wizkid’s extravagant car purchase and playfully taunted Davido. Dami4in declared that Davido needed to “work harder,” suggesting that he hadn’t yet achieved the financial capability to afford such a high-end vehicle. This tweet sparked immediate reactions, with fans expressing mixed feelings about the bold statement.
The news of Wizkid’s extravagant Ferrari acquisition spread when a car dealer posted a video of the sports car, tagging the music sensation. The buzz around the 1.4 billion naira purchase grew, with fans celebrating Wizkid’s stylish success. However, the fan challenge thrown at Davido didn’t go unnoticed, prompting diverse reactions from the online community.
It’s important to note that this fan-driven rivalry contrasts with the camaraderie displayed by Wizkid and Davido in recent public appearances. A few weeks ago, the two music heavyweights were seen together at a beach party, enjoying each other’s company and vibing to Davido’s hit song, “Feel.” Their camaraderie continued as Davido took to Twitter to promote Wizkid’s new single, highlighting the genuine mutual respect and support between the two artists despite fan wars.
While the fan challenge continues to stir online, the broader narrative underscores the coexistence of competition and collaboration within the Nigerian music industry. While fans passionately advocate for their favorite artists, the artists themselves continue to showcase a bond that transcends the fan-driven rivalry, emphasizing unity and shared success within the dynamic world of Afrobeat.
