Nigerian music heavyweights Wizkid and Davido have once again ignited fresh drama as their long-standing rivalry resurfaced on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). The renewed clash comes after months of relative silence between the two fan-favorite artists.
The latest episode began in the early hours of Tuesday, July 22, when Wizkid posted a cryptic tweet simply stating “Biggest 🦅,” a subtle yet bold declaration that many interpreted as a claim to being the biggest artist in Nigeria’s music industry.
The post instantly sparked reactions, but it wasn’t long before Davido entered the chat with what appeared to be a sarcastic jab. Quoting Wizkid’s tweet, Davido wrote, “For your parlor,” implying that Wizkid’s self-proclaimed status holds only in his personal space. Davido didn’t stop there — he further strengthened his stance by sharing a link to an article detailing his music milestones, clearly aiming to solidify his dominance in the scene.
Adding even more fuel to the fire, Davido posted another tweet that read, “I need cane.” Although cryptic, the statement quickly caught fire across social media, with fans speculating that it was a taunt directed at Wizkid, perhaps implying he needed to discipline or mock his rival.
As expected, fans from both camps flooded the platform with mixed reactions. The age-old rivalry between “30BG” and “Wizkid FC” was revived, as users clashed in comment sections, with memes, counter-claims, and wild interpretations dominating timelines.
This is not the first time the two award-winning artists have exchanged subliminals online, but the intensity of this latest interaction has reignited debates over who truly wears the crown in the Nigerian and African music scene.
