A Clash of Titans: Wizkid and Davido’s Tense Encounter in London
In a notable incident that has once again reignited discussions about the rivalry between two of Nigeria’s biggest music icons, Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, recently took to social media to assert his star power following a club encounter with fellow artist Davido. The event unfolded on a Friday night in London, where both artists were present at the same venue, yet their interactions suggested underlying tensions.
Wizkid arrived at the club to support his official disc jockey, DJ Tunez, who was on the turntables that night. Meanwhile, Davido was celebrating with his entourage, the 30 Billion Gang. As the night progressed, Wizkid reportedly walked past Davido’s table without acknowledgment, prompting speculation about the state of their relationship.
In the wake of this perceived snub, Wizkid took to Twitter to boast, suggesting that Davido was seeking his approval rather than the other way around. “Everybody Dey find Big Wizzy,” he proclaimed, indicating a sense of confidence in his standing within the industry.
This latest episode is not an isolated occurrence. The two artists have previously been seen together, including a memorable night in Lagos last year when they embraced at a club. However, sentiments from Wizkid during recent social media exchanges suggest a shifting narrative, where he claims that Davido pursues him “like a fanboy” whenever their paths cross.
As the rivalry between these two luminaries continues to unfold, it remains evident that their interactions are closely monitored by fans and observers alike, reflecting the complexities of personal relationships amid the pressures of fame.

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.
Efe has appealed to Wizkid and Wizkid FC for forgiveness and the restoration of his accounts.
