Recall that Wizkid had in 2017 brought Davido out as a special guest at his December concert. After which, the singers have also thrown heavy digs at each other on different occasions.

In July 2022, Wizkid appeared to have offered an olive branch to Burna Boy and Davido after he downplayed the rivalry between them at the 2022 Afronation music festival in Portugal and said, “I want to tell you tonight, Starboy, I got love for Burna Boy, I got love for Davido, and I want to thank all our fans for supporting us.”

Dropping the big news on his Instagram stories on Wednesday, 32-year-old Wizkid said, “After my MLLE tour, David and I are going on tour. Save your coins. I don’t want to hear pim.”

Confirming the development on Instagram, Davido, who spotted the announcement on Tunde Ednuts’ page, clicked the ‘like’ button.

As expected, this generated a lot of mixed reactions on social media, especially among Davido’s fans, who are called 30BG, and Wizkid’s fans, known as Wizkid FC.

A Twitter user, Sally Suleiman, wrote, “Wizkid and Davido going on a tour is all you need to know that 2023 is a great year for us. 30BG versus Wizkid FC.”

AlwaysTee10: “Almost everybody is against this wizkid and davido’s tour, including me. Wizkid is trying to tap light from davido cus he knows he is falling gradually. He recently dropped an album, and it flopped within a week, and you guys think it’s love? No, it’s not love, @davido don’t accept.”

Also speaking, Daniel Regha said, “Wizkid going on tour with Davido makes absolutely no sense. He’s been snubbing Davido for years and doesn’t address Wizkid FC when they troll, but all of a sudden, he plans a joint tour now that his star power is dropping. Why not with Burna? Davido shouldn’t accept this. No offence.”

I’ve Been Blacklisted In Music Industry For 13 Years – Seun Kuti

Published

on

Grammy-nominated Afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti has claimed that he has been blacklisted in the Nigerian music industry for about 13 years due to his style of music.

He explained that because his late father Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and his contemporaries used their music as a form of protest against bad governance, the government invested heavily in vain artists while targeting conscious musicians.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Saleh Meditate podcast, Kuti said government’s interference has significantly affected the quality and impact of modern Nigerian music.

He, however, said being blacklisted in Nigeria doesn’t affect him much, stressing that the country is just a fraction of his fanbase.

He said, “The impact of Fela and his contemporaries who spoke truth to power sacred the government. They made the government realised the power of artistry. So, the government invested more in artists who don’t make conscious music than artists who sing about realities.

“When I am in Nigeria, I don’t fear to say whatever I want to say. That is a lot of people are saying that I should be cancelled. I have been cancelled for about 13 years now after I performed conscious music at former Lagos State Governor Ambode’s event. Even before then, my music was heavily restricted.

“I have been cancelled for long. People think I am not cancelled because I am doing well. Nigeria has cancelled me long time but Nigeria is just like a really small percentage of my market. So, being cancelled doesn’t really affect me.”

He added that artists who are scared of being blacklisted are only scared because Nigeria makes up the bulk of their fanbase.
