2024 has solidified itself as a year for beefing, with Africa’s Afrobeat stars Wizkid and Davido exchanging heated words online over who is the best in the genre. The beef happened on X (formerly Twitter) on April 29 with two firing shots at each other.
It all started with Wizkid making a subtweet in which he criticized an unnamed artist, claiming they couldn’t touch him in terms of relevance. “U and all ur crew plus ur pant washer songwriter go to sleep at night thinking you actually got anything on me in music,” he posted.
The unnamed artist in the post turned out to be Davido after he responded to the same post and things took a drastic turn. The latter quote tweeted a second message from Wizkid that read: “U know what… no point. Delusional n**gas,” with a pointed response. “We not delusional,” Davido wrote. “You’re a sick man.”
As Wizkid and Davido continued their online beef, trading one shot after the next. The exchange eventually attracted many fans who only added more fuel to the fire. Wizkid quote tweeted Davido’s response with a video of Davido awkwardly laughing.
That pissed off Davido who later took things to another level by claiming Wizkid is over the hill. “Exactly why I stopped wasting my clout,” he noted. “And jeopardizing millions of my USD on someone whose career was resurrected a few years ago just to die again.” Damn! That was a straight hit to the gut.
As if that wasn’t enough to end things right there, David used Drake’s tactics by making fun of Wizkid’s shoe size saying: “Size 7 shoe,” he wrote with a laughing emoji. “N**ga shop at footlocker kids.“
Wizkid decided not to take things further, though. He shut down the X exchange by claiming he was over it. “I don tire,” he tweeted. “I dey go sleep. Jesus is King.” Wizkid and Davido have collaborated multiple times over the years, with some of their most notable songs including “My Way” and “Feel (Remix).”

Another user by the name of Charles posted: “Imagine if Messi and Ronaldo bantered each other just like Wizkid and Davido.”
It is believed that the beef between the two Afrobeat artists started in 2023, with the fans most to blame for the fallout according to Davido while appearing on Drink Champs. “It actually started with the fans,” he explained. “It was the fans going at it. We were f*cking around and he announced, ‘Yo, I’m going on tour with Davido next year.’ This angered the fans greatly and now it has slowly turned into another beef war.
