Everybody Dey Find Big Wiz – Wizkid Brags After Snubbing Davido At London Club

Ayodeji Balogun, the Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, who is also known as Wizkid, has posted about his star power after an incident that happened between him and his colleague, Davido, at a club in London.

Recall that Wizkid sauntered past Davido’s table while clubbing at the same facility with the DMW boss amid their beef, on Friday night.

Davido was partying with members of his 30 Billion Gang, while Wizkid reportedly showed up to support his official disc jokey, DJ Tunez who was playing at the club.

Following the snub, Wizkid went online to brag, insinuating that Davido was the one looking for his validation.

On his X handle on Saturday morning, Wizkid wrote, “Everybody Dey find Big Wizzy.”

This isn’t the first time Davido and Wizkid have been spotted clubbing together. Last year, the singers partied together and hugged at a Lagos club.

However, Wizkid claimed during one of his recent social media rants that it was Davido who initiated the reunion.

He claimed that Davido runs after him “like a fanboy” anywhere he goes.

I Don’t Believe Wizkid And Davido’s Beef Is Real – Ladipoe

Nigerian rapper, Oladipoe has stated that he doesn’t believe that the beef between Wizkid and Davido is real.
He stated this during an interviw with with City 105.1FM.
According to him, they could be using the beef as a strategy to promote something.
The rapper stated that he has seen it before and stated that it could be same thing playing out again.
In Ladipoe’s words:
“Honest truth, honestly, I have no idea. And why I say so is because this is not the first time that there has been something like this between these two juggernaut artistes y’know. So, who is to say? And I’m not personally close to either of them to be able to look behind the veil. I’ve been somebody that has gotten to admire them from afar. I’ve definitely shaken Wizkid’s hand a couple of times. I’ve shaken David’s hand a couple of times. And in both ways, I respect them.
 
You know what I feel? I fall in the fanbase that feels that they are just too savvy and business minded to not one day say “pull up, Davido and Wizkid concert or Wizkid and Davido concert”. I just feel like una dey whine me. That’s my own personal feeling: una dey whine me. They are too big to not see the business opportunity in front of them. So, that’s my take. But whether it’s real or not, who is to say?
Beef for promoting stuff is an old tactic. It’s effective. I don’t love it personally, but it’s tried and tested, and it works. It’s not my preferred strategy, but it works.”
