In a recent revelation that has sparked considerable interest among fans of both music and football, football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has disclosed his preference for Nigerian artist Davido over Wizkid. This announcement came during a content segment on Ronaldo’s YouTube channel, where he was asked to weigh in on the rivalry between the two prominent singers.
The discussion gained momentum after a viral video showcased Ronaldo enjoying Asake’s popular track “Active,” which features American rapper Travis Scott.

Ronaldo’s endorsement of Davido adds another layer to this dynamic, suggesting that the world-renowned athlete is aligned with one camp in this vibrant cultural phenomenon.
As the rivalry continues to unfold, Ronaldo’s choice may influence fans and newcomers to the genre, potentially reshaping how these musicians are perceived in both local and global spheres.

Subsequently, Efe claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that his Instagram account, boasting 1.8 million followers, was taken down by Wizkid FC. He later released an apology video stating that his TikTok account had also been blocked.
