For the second time in about a month, Davido has had to speak
on his beef with Wizkid
The first time, he spoke with Sahara reporters where he said
he had no issues with Wizkid at all.
But in his recent interview with Olisa Adibua on ‘’ Davido takes
his time to explain in
Details his side of the story.
Accoriding to him, ‘Since I came out, there has always been this
comparison between me and Wizkid, but there’s room for
everybody, we are not doing the same thing. Funny enough,
we used to see each other around at clubs and back
stage of events, and there was no problem at all. I’ve always
been a good fan of him, he makes good music, and
it all started with a flight to New York. Funny enough, this is
the second time we were on a flight together, the first time
was when we went to Benin and it was a successful show.
So when we came out from the flight in New York, people
were surprised to see us together, so a lot of people wanted
to take pictures with us and show that unity, and it felt cool.
So we all left the airport, he was going for his own show in
new York, while I was going for my Canadian tour, but I
went through New York. But about 3 months before his
own show, I had my own show and my venue was below
capacity, we had like 2,000 people inside and over
3,000 people outside, and you know people in New
York don’t waste time, they call the police over every little thing.
‘It wasn’t anybody’s fault, but it’s the love people have for
me, it’s never happened in New York history to have an
African artiste sell out a venue, so the venue was
where they were expecting about five hundred people
and over 4,000 people showed up. So after my show,
naturally Wizkid was the next choice for them to bring
to New York. So when we left the airport, you know I’ve
been in America all my life, so we spoke about hooking
up later at night and just hang out with friends and show
them that Naija boys can do it too. Only for me to get to
the Hotel and the next tweet I saw from him was ‘proper
shows, proper venue’ and I was like common, to be honest
if we were not on the same plane together, I wouldn’t
have cared, but the fact that we were together in the same
plane, same cabin and we spoke. It was then I knew that
either this dude doesn’t like me or someone with him doesn’t
like me.’
Davido is very convinced that Wizkid doesn’t like him at all
and he clearly aimed the shot at him, even though Wizkid
said he wasn’t talking to anyone in an earlier interview
where he said: ‘The situation is just so funny to me, because
we all were on the same flight, I was only tweeting and
talking about my show, I was talking about myself, you
know I had a show in New York a year before that sold out,
but the sound was bad, the venue we used was crazy and
fucked up. So this time I landed at the airport, drove through
the venue and I saw my name in lights and I was like wow,
I came down, took a picture and I posted it with the caption
‘Proper shows, proper venues’, and people started catching feelings.
‘If I was really talking to anyone, then everyone else like
Iyanya and others that have done shows in the US should
be mad at it. When I saw it, I just smiled because I don’t have
time. If you get mad at that, then it means you don’t do proper
shows at proper venues. I was just promoting my show.
I feel like if am happy about my success and you are hating
on it, I don’t know if I’m to consider you as a friend or foe.’
But Davido feels otherwise saying ‘it was very clear he was
talking to me, who else did a show in New York, it’s very clear.
I have no problem at all, Nigerian music is just growing and it’s
still the two of us that’s taking it International, and I don’t have
time for beef, I’m just doing music for what I love, but at the
end of the day I don’t want to be disrespected, just leave me
alone I won’t disturb you and you shouldn’t disturb
me. Everybody knows he’s making money and I’m making
money too.’
Apparently, peace is still a very long way off as far as
these two super stars being cool with each other is concerned.
All said and done, it doesn’t look like they’ll be hanging out together anytime soon.
