Portable Claims Wizkid And Davido’s Feud Is A Tactic To Stay Relevant
Controversial Nigerian singer, Portable, has chimed in on the escalating feud between music superstars Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, and David Adeleke, a.k.a. Davido. The ongoing rivalry between the two artists, which resurfaced on October 1, has drawn widespread attention, and Portable accused both musicians of using their conflict as a strategy to remain relevant in the industry.
The latest clash began when Wizkid posted a cryptic tweet that many believed was directed at Davido. This came shortly after Davido teased a snippet of his first single for 2024. Fans and observers quickly connected the dots, sparking an intense online exchange between the two artists. The situation escalated further when Wizkid, who was also gearing up to release the first track from his highly anticipated album *Morayo*, responded to jabs from Davido’s camp.
Kayode Yajaur, better known as Black Tycoone and an associate of Davido, added fuel to the fire by tweeting, “Tell your Daddy to drop an album already,” seemingly mocking Wizkid’s delay in releasing his new music. Wizkid, in response, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to throw shade at Davido’s camp, writing, “P***y boys dropping mid again,” and adding, “Una don tire! Make una go rest small!” Although he did not mention Davido by name, fans were quick to interpret his post as a direct shot at the ‘Fem’ singer.
Portable, known for his outspoken nature, took to Instagram to criticize the two artists for focusing on their rivalry instead of their music. In his post, he accused them of using their feud to promote themselves rather than creating quality music that resonates with listeners. “Don’t use your brother to shine, shine yourself. Una songs no dey market again, na fight una dey use do promotion,” Portable wrote, suggesting that both Wizkid and Davido are relying on controversy to stay in the limelight due to a decline in the popularity of their music.
Distancing himself from the feud, Portable made it clear that he has no loyalty to either artist. “Me, I no dey for Davido. Me, I no dey for Wizkid. I dey for myself. That’s why I dey for those who dey for me,” he added, emphasizing his independence from the drama surrounding the two stars.
As Wizkid and Davido’s feud continues to capture the attention of fans and media alike, Portable’s comments reflect a broader conversation about the role of social media in shaping the public personas of artists and the extent to which rivalry, real or manufactured, can impact their careers. For now, the feud shows no signs of slowing down, with both camps continuing to trade jabs online, while Portable remains a vocal critic of their approach to the music industry.
