Wizkid and Davido, two of Nigeria’s biggest musicians,, have captivated social media users across the nation with a war of words.
The two superstars have millions of fans across the world and have long been considered rivals. Many Nigerian music lovers class themselves as either “Team Wizkid” or “Team Davido”.
A skirmish between the two began on Monday night after fans on social media platfor X begged Wizkid to release a new song.
He responded to the requests by posting a video, which had previously been circulated widely, of a man on his knees, begging an unknown person for a favour.
Wizkid told his fans that if they begged him like the man in the clip, he would drop his new song.
Previously, social media users suggested the subject of the video in question is Davido, but the 31-year-old star has not commented on the rumours.
On Monday night, Davido responded to Wizkid’s taunt by saying he refuses to waste his “clout” on “someone whose career was resurrected a few years ago just to die again”.
As well as drawing attention on social media, the clash has sparked debate on blogs and between fans interacting offline.
Fans of both singers are still having a field day defending their idols and popular music channel Hip TV has launched a poll on X in a bid to determine which musician has “won” the battle.
Wizkid and Davido are arguably two of Africa’s biggest music stars. They have both won several MTV and BET music awards and have collaborated with international artists including Drake, Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj.
Veteran Nigerian entertainer Charly Boy has responded to Nigerians who have questioned his sexuality and labelled him gay.
The entertainer addressed the issue in a post shared on his Instagram page, saying he was unbothered by the speculation surrounding his sexuality.
According to Charly Boy, some Nigerians have openly described him as gay over the years, but he has refused to allow the comments to affect him.
“For years, many have questioned my sexuality, some have openly called me gay.
“Anything una like make una talk, because I know for many Nigerians, dey are still living under the rock,” he wrote.
Charly Boy also spoke about embracing his feminine side, arguing that doing so does not make a man less masculine.
“Embracing ones feminine side isn’t about becoming less of a man—it’s about becoming more of a human being.
“It’s about having access to the full spectrum of human experience: strength and vulnerability, logic and intuition, independence and connection.”
Concluding his message, the entertainer appeared to dismiss his critics, writing, “If u know u know. I no send ur father.”

As of the time of filing this report, members of her family had yet to issue an official statement on the circumstances surrounding her death.
Popular TikTok streamer, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has announced attendance rules for his white wedding with his wife, Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, popularly known as Jarvis, saying bloggers and excessive camera coverage will not be allowed at the ceremony scheduled for Saturday, August 8, 2026.
Speaking in a video shared on social media on Sunday, August 2, 2026, Peller said he wants a more private atmosphere for the church wedding after his experience at the traditional ceremony.
According to him, there were more bloggers than invited guests at the traditional wedding, with some people allegedly buying aso-ebi just to gain access to the event and record videos.
“My white wedding is on August 8. I don’t know who brought those bloggers to my wedding. I don’t know how bloggers will be more than the guests. Some people bought aso-ebi just to come and record us. I want only 80 to 100 people at my white wedding,” he said.
Peller said the white wedding would be an intimate event with only 80 to 100 guests.
He also claimed that some people who attended the traditional wedding appeared to be more interested in creating content than celebrating with them.
Despite his concerns about the crowd and media presence, Peller said the traditional wedding was successful.
“Anyway, the traditional wedding was a success,” he said.
