Davido, Wizkid using rift to stay relevant- Portable

Published

By

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.

“Don’t use your brother to shine+ shine by yourself una songs no dey market again na fight una dey use do promotion,” he wrote.

“Me I no dey for Davido for me. I no dey for Wizkid I dey for myself that’s why I dey for those who dey for me chosen one,” he added.
