In the wake of his recent reconciliation with rival Wizkid, Nigerian singer Davido has found himself in hot water with his legion of fans. The Grammy nominee took to the micro-blogging platform to express his support for Wizkid’s new song, which did not sit well with many of his fans.
Davido’s tweet, “New Wiz Friday!!! Wtf!!! Replay all weekend!!”, sparked backlash from a fan who criticized him for always giving room for his rivals to use him. Davido, in response, reminded the fan that he is in his 30s and desires peace, saying, “Your father dey gba. Nah u know I’m 31 years old. I want peace”.
Another fan added that Davido makes it difficult for his fans to support him, to which he replied by telling the fan to leave, saying, “Fuck off then…Ur not a fan”.
Reactions from netizens poured in, with varied opinions expressed regarding the situation.
Amidst heavy criticisms, Davido and Wizkid set the internet ablaze over the weekend as they reunited at a beach in Lagos, sharing moments of camaraderie and breaking the internet with their vibes and dance moves. This display of mutual affection did not come as a surprise, as they had been a source of comfort for each other during tough times.
When Wizkid lost his mother in August, Davido extended his condolences, while Wizkid showed solidarity with Davido when he lost his son with his fiancee Chioma in October. Their camaraderie extended to a planned tour together, with Davido confirming their ongoing talks about a joint record release.
