In a notable encounter, Nigerian Afrobeat superstars Davido and Wizkid recently crossed paths at a nightclub in London but chose to ignore one another. The moment was captured and shared by Adesope Olajide, host of the Afrobeat Podcast, who posted videos of the two artists on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, “Davido and Wizkid currently partying in the same club in London…”.
According to reports, Davido was already inside the club enjoying himself when Wizkid entered with his entourage. Despite their history and the buzz surrounding their careers, the two stars did not acknowledge each other.
This interaction comes shortly after a series of subtle jabs exchanged between the artists. Just hours before their nightclub meeting, Wizkid had been seen taking what many interpreted as digs at Davido, coinciding with his announcement of a new single set to release in 2024, which he claimed would be a “banger” to celebrate Nigeria’s independence. Davido has yet to publicly respond to Wizkid’s comments or the posts.
The tension between Davido and Wizkid is not new; it dates back to the early 2010s when both artists were establishing themselves in the Afrobeat scene. Wizkid gained fame with his debut album Superstar in 2011, while Davido rose to prominence with his hit track Dami Duro, released in the same year. Their rivalry has been a topic of discussion among fans and music lovers for years, and this latest incident is sure to reignite conversations about their long-standing feud.
