We may not have heard the last in the exchange of words by two of Nigeria's brightest young talents (Davido and Wizkid). And now according to a report by Netng, an end to the tweet warfare may be long in the making. Below is the complete story published by Nigerian Entertainment Today.
Just like football stars, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel
Messi, the rivalry and comparison between Nigerian pop stars, Wizkid and Davido
will probably continue for a long time for different reasons.
The equally and
hugely talented music stars are both successful, thus, it may be a herculean
task choosing one over the other. Since the Wizkid/Davido war began, it might
not be wrong to say Wizkid seems to be enjoying the buzz the rivalry is
creating for his brand, as he seems uninterested in ending the rivalry. Reasons
as given by few personalities NET spoke to include Wizkid’s demand for respect
from his erstwhile friend, Davido, and a proper apology from the 21 year old,
who allegedly connected with several entertainers as a result of his
association with Wizkid years ago. More after the cut....
Keen followers of the events that have
occurred between Wizkid and Davido recently may wonder what explanation can be
given to Wizkid’s tweets, which allegedly insulted Davido. Shortly before the
hostilities began some weeks ago, sources divulged that Wizkid, Davido and
other artistes such as Flavour, KCEE, Harrysong and popular hype-man Special Ed
had a good time at the airport before embarking on a trip to New York. However,
it took many by surprise when the two kicked off Twitter rants and throwing
what had been described as ‘shade’ at each other without calling out any names.
Another reason why it might become almost impossible for Wizkid to forgive
Davido might be an alleged act of betrayal that Wizkid felt during the D’Banj
and Don Jazzy breakup. ‘Wizkid felt betrayed by Davido that he pitched his tent
with D’Banj and couldn’t believe his friend could leave their much older
friend, Wande Coal, who at that pitched his tent with Don Jazzy,’ a close
source told Nigerian Entertainment Today. It has been noted that since the two
began hostilities towards each other, Wizkid has not posted an apology tweet to
his fans, while Davido is always quick to apologize after several minutes of
Twitter rants. In their last exchange while both were in New York, Davido was
quick to tweet about forgetting the entire exchange of words as he intends to
continue his music, but rather than remain silent or tweet an apology to fans,
Wizkid threw another shot at the 21 year old singer.
Meanwhile, it is being
peddled about that the tweet fights and hostilities might have not degenerated
to this level if Davido had not left a bad taste in Wizkid’s mouth after
allegedly abandoning him at a night club, which he invited him to three years
back. Before the two became rivals, allegations were rife that Davido and his
HKN crew had allegedly invited Wizkid to the club only to abandon him to pay
the bills and find his way home himself. Even as older colleagues tried to wade
into the rivalry, KCee in a chat with Nigerian Entertainment Today said the
beef was needed to keep the industry booming. In his words, ‘I really don’t
know what to say about it or where its coming from. It happens, even in America
you need stunts like this to keep the industry burning, so I don’t think it’s a
big deal, because on the long run they’ll eventually make peace.’...
