Portable has weighed in on the ongoing rift between Davido and Wizkid, suggesting their feud is a calculated move to promote their music.

The two music heavyweights recently teased their separate forthcoming projects — an album by Wizkid and a song by Davido.

On Tuesday, Wizkid reignited their rift — after Davido announced his first single of 2024.

The ‘Made In Lagos’ hitmaker also taunted Ademola Adeleke, Davido’s uncle who is governor of Osun state.

Wizkid mocked Adeleke for his numerous dance videos online. He also implied that the Adeleke family “lacks a proper upbringing”.

Registering his opinion via Instagram post, Portable argued that they are no longer marketable and are relying on online rift to promote their projects.

He advised the singers to focus on self-improvement rather than using each other for attention.

Davido, the Afrobeats star, is set to perform at an event hosted by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

Headquartered in New York, the UNGA is one of the six principal organs of the UN, serving as its main deliberative, policymaking, and representative organ.

In a post via X on Tuesday, Davido announced he will be performing at one of the events at the UNGA tonight.

The Grammy-nominated artiste also urged his fans to anticipate his performance.

Touch down New York City for the @UN General Assembly. My first time attending should be interesting,” he wrote.

“Also performing tonight at one of the events ! Catch me if u can!”

Touch down New York City for the @UN General Assembly… My first time attending should be interesting  .. Also performing tonight at one of the events ! Catch me if u can! 

Davido’s announcement comes a few days after DJ Cuppy, the Nigerian disc jockey, made history at the UNGA. She hosted an opening session at the event.

During her session, Cuppy emphasized the importance of engaging young people worldwide in meaningful conversations

She revealed her passion for quality education — the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4).

The disc jockey also highlighted her foundation’s efforts in funding education for underprivileged Africans.

After her keynote session, Cuppy also gave a musical performance at the event.

With strings of awards and honourary mentions, Davido has established himself as one of the leading names in the Nigerian music industry.
