Wizkid Shades Davido’s Uncle for Dancing in Public

Nigerian artist Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, famously known as Wizkid, recently criticized Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, who is Davido’s uncle, for his dancing in a viral video.

Wizkid expressed his displeasure through a series of posts on his official social media account on the platform X, formerly known as Twitter. In what many viewed as a veiled jab at Davido, Wizkid made several statements that were interpreted as indirect criticism of the fellow musician. While Davido chose not to respond, Wizkid escalated the situation by mocking Davido’s uncle, Governor Adeleke, for his public dancing, even sharing a video of the incident.

Wizkid wrote: “When you see people wey dem papa and family train, you go know! You don’t see my uncle dancing online!”

This post sparked significant backlash on social media, with numerous users condemning Wizkid for his remarks about Davido’s uncle.

Meanwhile, Davido, recently took to social media to address comments made by fellow musician Wizkid, who had thrown shade his way. The controversy began when Wizkid criticized Davido’s decision to release a new song at the same time as the highly anticipated launch of his own album, Morayo.

Wizkid took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his disapproval, dismissing Davido’s new release as subpar. He also referred to him as “Fogido” and mockingly called Davido’s loyal fanbase “30 Bingos” instead of the popular “30BG.”

This sparked reactions from 30BG fans, with one supporter accusing Wizkid of using Davido’s name to stir up publicity for his upcoming album. Wizkid responded by insisting he had no need to use Davido for promotion and once again reiterated his claim that Davido lacks talent.

Amidst this online feud, Davido, known for his hit song Unavailable, chose to remain above the fray. Rather than engaging in further back-and-forth, he took to his verified X account to share exciting news about his upcoming collaboration with PUMA.

Davido’s tweet read, “Touchdown NYC!! Excited about tonight @puma X Davido New collection Unveiling! ????,” highlighting his focus on success and growth, unfazed by the rivalry. He subtly reminded everyone of his winning partnership with PUMA, a brand that Wizkid once represented as an ambassador.
