How Davido and Wizkid's ongoing beef started 10 years ago

On April 29, 2024, Nigerian music's biggest names Wizkid and Davido resumed their long-standing beef as the duo brutally dragged each other online.

Although it's uncertain when the feud between Wizkid and Davido started, it has now extended for over a decade.

Wizkid and Davido are two of Nigeria's biggest artists with commercial success, longevity, brand identity, influence, and huge fan bases. The duo who broke into the mainstream in 2010 and 2011 respectively have remained at the summit of the industry for over a decade and during that time they have had a love-hate relationship fuelled by competition and differences between their respective camps and fan bases.

The feud between Davido and Wizkid hit a new low on April 29, 2024, with both superstars engaging in name-calling on X to the amusement and dismay of observers.

While it's unclear what might have led to their current public spat after they engaged in both public and online bromance five months ago, this love-hate affair has been the nature of their relationship.
