This cutting remark wasn’t just a casual jab—it was a direct hit, loaded with the kind of venom that has defined their ongoing feud.
One passionate Davido fan couldn’t hold back, accusing Wizkid of constantly using Davido’s name for clout, suggesting that Big Wiz was riding on the wave of Davido’s success to promote his own projects.
But Wizkid’s response was as fierce as it was dismissive. In a savage clapback, he declared that beefing with Davido was beneath him, emphasizing that he would never need to attach himself to a singer he deemed as “wack” and untalented.
Wizkid wrote; “I don’t beef wack niggas! We all know he’s wack! No talent!”
As expected, this triggered an explosion of reactions online. Fans of both artists were quick to pick sides, with some defending Davido’s craft and others echoing Wizkid’s sentiments.
