Nigerian music icons Davido and Wizkid have sparked a fresh round of online drama, renewing tensions between their fan bases after a series of cryptic and suggestive posts surfaced on social media.
The online stir began when Grammy-winning star Wizkid posted a one-word tweet on X (formerly Twitter), simply stating: “BIGGEST.” Though the statement lacked context or direct mention of any individual, fans quickly interpreted it as a subtle brag or challenge to fellow industry giants, particularly Davido.
Davido, who has often been caught in perceived rivalries with Wizkid, swiftly responded with a sharp post of his own. Quoting Wizkid’s “BIGGEST” tweet, he replied with: “For your parlor,” a colloquial Nigerian phrase implying that such a claim only holds true in one’s own limited space—not in public or factual reality.
To underline his point, Davido also shared a link summarizing his career achievements, captioned it “Biggest” signaling confidence in his status and body of work.
As if that wasn’t enough, Davido followed up with another tweet saying: “I need cane,” a culturally charged comment often used in Nigeria to humorously express frustration or disbelief—typically implying that someone deserves punishment for their behavior or remarks. Many fans and observers viewed it as a clear dig at Wizkid, further inflaming the situation.

The back-and-forth has since ignited a digital firestorm among their followers. Davido’s loyal 30BG supporters and Wizkid’s fierce Wizkid FC fanbase have taken to social media platforms to defend their favorites, pulling up statistics, global achievements, awards, and past comments to bolster their respective arguments.
This is not the first time Davido and Wizkid have clashed publicly, even if indirectly. Over the years, the two artists—arguably Nigeria’s most globally recognized Afrobeats exports—have maintained an uneasy relationship marked by subtle shade, perceived competition, and sporadic reconciliatory moments.
While fans have long hoped for a collaboration, episodes like this continue to fuel speculations of a deep-seated rivalry.
