The conversation started after Davido celebrated the acquisition of a third private jet by his family. The singer’s father, Adedeji Adeleke, is one of Nigeria’s most prominent businessmen, and the announcement quickly gained traction online. Congratulating Davido on Instagram, Ednut’s post drew a wave of comments from his followers.
One curious fan asked the media personality when he intended to buy a jet of his own. Rather than giving a direct answer, Ednut replied: “After Wizkid, by God’s grace.”
His choice of words, however, did not go unnoticed. Many social media users interpreted the remark as a subtle shade at Wizkid, suggesting that the artist had yet to acquire a private jet of his own. The response instantly sparked heated reactions, especially among fans of the Grammy-winning singer.
Several commentators accused Ednut of attempting to stoke rivalry between the two music heavyweights. One user wrote, “The Ojuelegba boy collects stray bullet,” while another questioned why Davido’s family wealth was being compared to Wizkid’s personal assets. Others suggested that Ednut’s comment was unnecessary and designed to provoke fan wars.
The incident highlights once again how sensitive the fanbase rivalry between Davido and Wizkid remains, despite the two artists’ global success. While Ednut may have intended his comment in jest, the backlash underscores how quickly such remarks can inflame long-standing competition narratives within the Afrobeat community.
For now, neither Wizkid nor Davido has publicly responded to the exchange, leaving fans to continue the debate online.
