Rich people have weaponized poverty to make the underprivileged revere them - Wizkid.

Afrobeats musician Ayodeji Balogun, well known as Wizkid, claims that Nigeria's rich people have weaponized poverty in order to make the poor "worship" them.

He made the remark while teasing his colleague Davido on social media on Wednesday.

The 'More Love, Less Ego' singer, who started dragging Davido on Tuesday night, repeated his taunting of the DMW boss on Wednesday.

He claimed to be richer and more successful than Davido, despite the latter's wealthy upbringing.

Wizkid described Davido as a "spoilt rich kid" and said that the 'Unavailable' crooner is "cheap" and charges less than most of their music industry colleagues.

On his X account, he wrote, "First off, you're not as fly as me, you can't sing or make music like me, you can't dress, you don't make more money than me, and you don't even have shoes like me." You do not know yourself. You're cheap; you pull up for less than we do! Now f*ck off, you spoiled rich child! That is all you are! F*ck you and your dad's money; we got ours! Every n*gga around you broke! Your dumb *ss lawyer follows you everywhere dressed like Basketmouth lol; our lawyers are too busy for that sh*t! "You kids!"

In another tweet, Wizkid attacked Davido's self-proclaimed position as the "001" of the Nigerian music industry, stating he surrounded himself with poor people to worship him because rich people have weaponised poverty in Nigeria.

"Naija is a place where the rich weaponize poverty, so you bring all these broke boys in real life and get them visas so they will admire you without telling you anything about yourself. Call yourself 001, you delusional fucking idiot! The only time you are 001 is when you are at home. You aren't 001 of nothing but Instagram followers!


"You do not make more money in music than anyone else in Nigeria! Cheap man! "Everything about you is cheap," he wrote.
