Make no mistake; our favourite super stars Wizkid and Davido are still at war. However, despite their on going rancour, the two might even collaborate soon. An insider from Davido’s camp informed Nigerian Entertainment Today about the pop stars’ possibility of collaborating on a song. Taking it all back to the New York trip that renewed the rivalry between the pop stars, our source narrated how it all began. ‘On the day they both left for New York, ‘I was with Davido at the airport. We were there for about 3 hours, because the flights were delayed. There were a lot of artistes there, and we all mingled together.
I remember shuttling between Wizkid’s car and Davido’s car for about 4 times,’ the source began. ‘There was someone else with Wizkid that day, his name is Roli, he sells clothes and jewellery to top shots in the industry, Wizkid and Davido as well. He left Wizkid’s car for Davido’s and went to Wizkid again. Before that period, they had no fight and whatever Roli was saying to them, i don’t know, but the whole twitter thing started when they eventually landed in New York, they started exchanging words with each other but never confronted one another. ‘I think it is just sheer misunderstanding. We have love for each other, we are like a family. Davido has love for everybody, he does collabo for people without charging them a dime. And, i believe Davido and Wizkid will collaborate soon. We have the same producer, Shizzi.
The fight will end soon; they are both interested in money. They will record a song together, that I know’ the source said affirmatively. Despite their rivalry, the duo are flying high with award nominations, and making so much funds from sold out concerts. Penultimate weekend, Davido headlined a sold out concert in the UK alongside Tiwa Savage and Diamond from Tanzania. After the show where Davido performed to over five thousand fans, he wrote about the show’s success on his Twitter page. ‘The London 02 Academy was fucking sold out!! Mad!! Thanx for the all the love. Next stop Glasgow Scotland,’ he tweeted. He performed for the first time in Glasgow on Friday, September 19, 2014 and then went to perform in Germany on September 20, 2014.
Next he’ll perform in Paris, France on September 27. Wizkid will also headline a concert in UK on September 26, 2014 at the indigo 02 arena, while his much anticipated sophomore album AYO (joy) making waves since it was released on iTunes. Just a few hours after its release, the album rose to the top of the iTunes world chart, and also made its way to the 99th slot in the top 100 albums for all categories. Still basking in the success, Wizkid has been unveiled as the co-headliner for the 2014 Hennessey Artistry alongside 2face Idibia. Davido had initially offered to bury the hatchet a few weeks ago when he granted an interview to Sahara Tv saying, ‘It’s not beef at all. This is the first time I’m saying this but the only reason I was upset was because of the NY concert. I was even going to tweet like you know ‘make sure everybody turn up for my brother Wizkid’s concert’ and he threw a shade like that. I’m not going to take that…that’s why I went and said what I said. But it’s all cool, at the end of the day, we got to keep it on the music. Shout out to him.
I’m still a big fan. It was never nothing but don’t throw a shade at me…especially when we were on the flight earlier.’ Wizkid’s response to this wasn’t entirely peaceful, and the twitter rants continued. Over the last two months, both stars have granted separate interviews where they gave an account of what led to the conflict, and after careful analysis, it’s safe to say both of them are truthful in their narrations, however, hasty decisions and misinterpretation on Davido’s part has been adjudged to be the underlying cause of the rift, which might explain why he’s the one trying to make peace with Wizkid. In a second attempt to bury the hatchet, Davido tweeted to congratulate Wizkid on the release of his long awaited album saying, ‘Congratulations to both P SQUARE And WIZKID on their Album release May God continue to bless y’all OBO’. Don’t forget that Davido recently said in an interview with Olisa Adibua on ‘The Truth’ that he’s a huge fan of Wizkid because he makes great music….
