ABUJA (Sundiata Post) Nigerian artists Wizkid and Davido have been going back and forth these past days with their age-long rivalry, especially on social media and in songs. The latest poke is from Wizkid, who tweeted on Wednesday that Davido’s claim that he is not local, and that he owns an American passport won’t cure him of his supposed ‘frog voice.’

The tweet is seen by many of their fans as a reply to Davido’s lyrics on ‘summer body’, the latest song by artist Olamide which featured Davido himself.

Theirs is a spiral tale with history. Weeks ago, Davido allegedly mocked Wizkid’s upcoming third studio album dubbed ‘sounds from the other side.’Davido mocked the album title on his snapchat that the reigning sound was his and not Wizkid’s.

In a reply, Wizkid had subliminally called him out on twitter with a couple of tweets which insinuates that Davido was a ‘Kid,’ and a ‘local champion.’
It is believed that Davido’s lyrics on Olamide’s song is a reply to that, and that’s what possibly led Wizkid to tweeting about how owning a foreign passport won’t cure Davido of his ‘frog voice.’
Davido and Wizkid have also unfollowed each other on social media.
While we cannot tell the end to this vitriol, we can only hope that all that energy is channelled positively into their art. But we will keep you updated on all of it.
