Nigerian international artiste and DMW label boss Davido has taken to social media to drag South African record producer DJ Maphorisa, after he downplayed his impact in entertainment industry.
The drama started after Wizkid released his latest single ‘Bad to Me’ which infused the popular South African sound, Amapiano.
A Twitter user identified as Ladyroza001 claimed Davido brought Amapiano from South Africa and turned it into a successful genre across the world before Wizkid adopted the sound.
She wrote:
“Davido brought Amapiano from South Africa two years ago and made it a successful genre in Africa and Beyond, Wizkid is now hopping on the same genre after davido made it a successful genre. This is how many African artists have been benefiting from Davido’s success for over 12yrs.”
However, this didn’t sit well with DJ Maphorisa, who asserted that Wizkid and Burna Boy were the first Nigerian singers to jump on the sound.
He wrote;
“Kabza & Maphorisa was the first to put Wizkid n Burnaboy on a amapiano song Sponono dat was a historical moment 3 years ago, research before tweet also it was the first time Wiz n Burna jumped on a same song together let it sink in ❤️.”
On seeing this, Davido dragged Maphorisa while adding that the South African DJ had never liked him.
In his words: “You’ve never liked me y ? I’ve always been good to you …. Anyways AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY NOW!!!!!! Chu chu chu chu chu.”
