No wonder Wizkid dey always avoid Davido, Baba no fit forget wetin OBO do am.
This incident happened far back as 2012.
So for you guys, here is the complete gist.
Although Davido may claim to be Wizkid’s “brother” and even deny that a conflict is developing between the two artists, insider sources indicate such is not the case.
Before Davido’s meteoric rise to fame, he and Wizkid had never met, but that soon changed as Davido also became well-known and they were able to connect on a friendly level until sometime in May, when the amicable connection soured.
Wizkid apparently wasn’t having a great time while chilling at a hotel somewhere on the Island so he decided to call his friend, Davido, who at the time was hanging out with five other friends of his, according to an insider who is familiar with the pair and the origin of their no-love-lost relationship. The Omo Baba Olowo then gave his assistant the order to go pick up Wizkid from a hotel located behind the 1004 building on VI.
Before moving the celebration to Movida on Idowu Taylor, VI, Wizkid quickly joined Davido and his group of friends at a club in the civic center where they had a few drinks.
While they were there, Wizkid had one too many drinks for the evening and Davido ordered some bottles of Hennessey for himself and two new friends who had joined them. As they drank, Wizkid grew tipsy and weak.
He was taken outside to Davido’s car, where he allegedly puked, right away. While abandoning his friend and coworker, Davido was nowhere to be found.
As Davido had vanished into thin air and was under pressure to pay the bills, the bartenders eventually produced a bill for about N500,000. Davido’s assistant then took the bartenders to Wizkid’s house, where he was compelled to write them a check to cover their unpaid expenses.
Their relationship suffered as a result of this one-off action because Wizkid felt betrayed by Davido. Following the painful dissolution of Mo’Hits, their relationship had already been put to the test because both artists’ allegiances were split between Don Jazzy and D’banj.
But it was when Davido was sending out invitations to guests for the launch of his O.B.O Album and he didn’t send any to Wizkid that would ultimately prove to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. Additionally, to many people’s chagrin at the NEA two weeks ago in New York, Davido and his entourage allegedly sauntered out on a Wizkid performance.
Is it not clear that there is a problem between these two great stars after these occurrences, Davido’s denial, and Wizkid’s blatant silence in the face of all the “fighting” rumors? Could this be the time, from Wizkid’s perspective, when “quiet is golden”? Only time will tell.
This Day is the source of this article.
Will Wizkid ever be able to forgive Davido for what he did to him?
Prior to 2019, the knighting of a legendary album took place every second to every third year. This only made sense since there weren’t many albums released, which meant there weren’t many excellent albums, and because the rate at which artists released albums was inadequate in and of itself. Davido, who only put out two albums during the review period but accomplished countless feats to become an all-time great, is a clear example of this. Having a strong discography was only a bonus in this sector, which was mostly a singles market.
Although there were iconic albums that gave rise to the period between 2012 and 2014, such as Olamide’s trifecta of YBNL, Baddest Guy Ever Liveth, and Street OT (all albums won in the Album Of The Year category at the Headies.) In 2016, Simi released Simisola, and in 2017, Kizz Daniel released New Era. However, it wasn’t until 2018 that multiple albums achieved notable success in a single year. Both Outside by Burna Boy and About 30 by Adekunle Gold were commercially and critically successful songs. Particularly Burna’s Outside, which eventually led to his ascent to the pinnacle of the mainstream.
The enormous popularity of African Giant and Fireboy DML’s Laughter, Tears & Goosebumps will intensify the tide the next year. The latter was more of an unparalleled mainstream hit in the business, but the former was a significant record trigger point in the ‘Afrobeats To The World’ movement. We hadn’t experienced this level of popularity on a first album since Wizkid’s Superstar in 2011.
The biggest winner at the 14th annual Headies was Fireboy, who took 5 prizes, including Album Of The Year, Best R&B Album, Best R&B Single, and Best Pop Album.
Before starting to prepare themselves for their own individual projects, it was almost as if every artist paid close attention to the rebellious-esque popularity of Fireboy’s debut album and its influence on the soundscape. It’s not unrealistic to believe that even artists who hadn’t planned to release an album that year chose to do so as time went on given the enormous increase in album releases that occurred in 2020. The year 2020 gave us a ton of timeless and soon-to-be timeless songs, including Made In Lagos by Wizkid, Carpe Diem by Olamide, Twice As Tall by Burna Boy, Apollo by Fireboy DML, Boo Of The Booless by Chike, etc.
Additionally, EPs had a tremendous year. Omah Lay had a record-setting breakthrough year thanks to two successful EPs that yielded numerous hit songs. Even though practically every song on Get Layd was a successful single, What Have We Done gave rise to the artist’s biggest solo hit to date, Godly, which came from that album. Bella Schmurda debuted with the very energizing High Tension, following a breakthrough Olamide co-sign in Vision 2020, while Tems also released a strong breakout EP in For Broken Ears.
It was safe to state that the market was back to being an album market at the end of 2020. Moving forward to the third quarter of 2022, we are experiencing a year that is equally crowded and inundated as 2020 in terms of releases. It certainly seem possible that we could witness a flooding album year every two years as a trend.
In a span of six weeks in 2020, the three most popular and influential artists of the previous ten years released their albums.
Nigerian A-list and B-list musicians appear to have an odd preoccupation with the third and fourth quarters of the year. In 2020, the second half of the year saw the publication of 70% of the year’s new albums, while the last quarter saw virtually weekly album releases. For instance, in the week that followed the release of Burna Boy’s Twice As Tall, Cuppy’s debut album Original Copy and Adekunle Gold’s Afro-Pop Vol. 1 were both released on the same day, immediately following the release of Fireboy DML’s Apollo the day before.
Olamide’s Carpe Diem arrived just three weeks before Made In Lagos by Wizkid, Davido’s A Better Time, and Wizkid in the span of two weeks. In actuality, had it not been for the #EndSars protest and internet campaigns that paralyzed the business, the time between CD and MIL would have been shorter. Although their records were released in a short period of time, these three performers were unquestionably the most successful trio of the previous ten years.
In any sector, having a crowded album culture is not ideal. Projects require time and breathing room to reach their full potential, allowing both analysts and non-specialists to assess the project’s true potential for success. The market is currently being oversaturated with projects, which is preventing the one released the week prior from having a chance to establish itself. We have had the same barrage of back-to-back album releases in 2022—since July, to be exact.
Boy Alone, Playboy, The Guy, Bad, Love Damini, The Brother’s Keeper are all albums that were released since 1997 at a period with inadequate breathing room. The longest amount of time between albums was two weeks, and the fact that the current generation struggles with short attention spans and that record rotation is often brisk doesn’t help.
Even performers with respectable fan bases, such as Adekunle Gold, Falz, and Simi, have received lukewarm reviews for albums they released earlier in the year. Talk about breakout performers that put out great initial EPs but never had the chance to fully transform into popular stardom. Only musicians with contemporary momentum have survived in this competitive field.
Two new musicians signed by Mavins in 2022 were Bayanni (on the left) and Boy Spyce (on the right). Despite making outstanding EP debuts, neither project was able to establish a solid staple in the crowded mainstream.
Wizkid’s More Love, Less Ego is rumored to be set for release in October. Next month also sees the release of Blaqbonez’s Young Preacher and Ayra Starr’s 19 & Dangerous Deluxe Edition. This week will see the arrival of Ckay’s Sad Romance, and there won’t be many weeks between that release and the anticipated influx that will follow. Since a number of musicians, including Davido, Runtown, Bella Schmurda, Show Dem Camp, Zinoleesky, Bad Boy Timz, Lojay, and a host of others, will release albums before the year is up, we can be sure that November and December will be busy as well.
We must learn from other, more advanced businesses and refrain from releasing all of our important albums at once in the second half of the year. In order to maximize each album’s potential and ensure that it achieves its full potential, mainstream musicians should be more willing to release albums in Q1 and Q2. Great albums will continue to slip under the radar until that time, while a select few unlucky ones steal the show. Both audiences and artists profit from an album release schedule that is more balanced and healthy.
David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has responded to a man who threatened to slap his babymama, Chioma, for a statement she made.
Everything began when Davido’s brother, Adewale Adeleke, displayed a 90 million naira custom-built Bentley Bentayga.
Chioma simply commented, “Congrats, bro,” in the comment section.
A commenter reacted to her statement by criticizing her for using impolite language and saying that if he were Adewale, he would have hit her.
He stated: “You are rude, if na me I for slap you, rephrase your sentence with respect”.
Davido was enraged by this statement and vowed to make him “run” away from Nigeria.
‘@bighush7 you go slap who? Ok u go run from Nigeria .. bet it’, the singer said.
The commenter later apologized and begged forgiveness, he said: ‘@davido I nor try am prize you ooooo!!! Na your grace I wan tap from and I don get am ooo forgive me!!! Na you I they with ooo’.
Recently, Wizkid’s song “Bad To Me” was released, and it quickly rose to the top spot on Apple Music, knocking Asake’s song “Organise” to number two.
A feat that Davido, Burna Boy, and other well-known artists were unable to accomplish when they released their own songs.
Asake’s “Organise” is back at number one right now, and it’s unfortunate that all of Davido’s fans are backing Asake only to put Wizkid in the doghouse.
Remember that when Davido released “Stand Strong,” it failed to stay at the top for one day.
At this point, I’ll put my pen down and invite other Wizkid fans to join me in celebrating our own Machala.
I’ll be waiting for Machala supporters and detractors in the comment area.
With his “African Giant” album, Burna Boy sets a new record.
Burna Boy
Burna Boy comes to mind while discussing record-breakers.
A new record was just set by the acclaimed album “African Giant” by the “Last Last” Crooner.
African Giant is now the first African album to receive a Gold certification from Canada.
Burna Boy, a singer from Nigeria, released his fourth studio album, African Giant. On July 26, 2019, Spaceship Entertainment, Bad Habit, Atlantic Records, and Warner Music published the album. Afrobeats, Afrobeat, dancehall, pop, and hip hop are all represented on the album.
As we all know, there is currently a social media uproar regarding the first Nigerian artiste who introduced the popular South African beat “Amapiano” to Nigeria. Even May D claims to be the one who introduced the popular beat to Nigeria.
A-list artists such as Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido have recently jumped on this beat.
Wizkid released his much anticipated single “Bad To Me” today, September 14th, and the song has elicited a variety of reactions from fans.
Wizkid will appear on the beat for the second time, having previously appeared on Kabza De Small’s “Sponono” with Burna Boy in 2020.
On the other hand, Davido has been jumping on the amapiano beat more than the other guys. Songs such as “Champion Sound,” “Ke Star,” “High,” and others.
Burna Boy then appeared on DJ Tarico’s “Yaba Buluku,” another amapiano-infused song, before releasing “Different Size” with Victony on his album “Love, Damini.”
Other artists who have jumped on the amapiano beat include Zinoleesky, Asake, Niniola, Falz, Adekunle Gold, Mohbad, and many more. We can say that 90% of Nigerian artists have jumped on the amapiano beat.
So here is the question for you:
Davido, Burna Boy, Niniola, Wizkid, and others – Which Nigerian artist popularized Amapiano in Nigeria?
Davido, the CEO of DMW, has announced that a new customized diamond pendant is on its way to his 30BG members. Davido has shown record label executives and his fellow musicians that he is not on equal footing with them by flaunting 30BG pendants he made for his crew.
