Nigerian music giants Davido and Wizkid have once again sparked widespread buzz on social media after exchanging subtle jabs on X (formerly Twitter), reigniting their long-running rivalry.
The latest drama unfolded early Tuesday, July 22, when Wizkid posted a cryptic tweet that read, “Biggest 🦅.” The single emoji-laced statement was widely interpreted as a self-declaration of being the greatest in the Nigerian music industry.
Not one to back down, Davido swiftly responded by quoting the tweet with the words, “For your parlor,” a mocking retort that suggested Wizkid’s claim was only valid within the confines of his living room. To further assert his own dominance, Davido followed up with a link showcasing a list of his career milestones, including international awards, chart-topping hits, and sold-out concerts.

In a separate post that fueled even more speculation, Davido tweeted, “I need cane,” a phrase that left fans scrambling to decipher its meaning. While some saw it as humorous, others interpreted it as a thinly veiled jab at Wizkid, suggesting he needed discipline.
The reactions from fans on both sides came in fast and loud, with many interpreting Davido’s tweet as a direct dig.
One fan, @DavidoPolice, tweeted, “He meant ‘He need cane to flog Wizkid.’” Another, @ukange_davidx, joked, “You wan flog Wizzy.” Meanwhile, a Wizkid supporter, @bigwizarrdd, fired back, “Davido my favorite mugu. Do you know Wizkid has a song that’s bigger than your career of 14 years?”
@Walexbllaze added a humorous twist to the debate, posting, “Wizkid no kuku fat, we fit use am don cane 😂😂😂 The question is: who our idolo wan flog like this?”While neither artiste explicitly mentioned the other’s name, the tone and timing of their tweets left little doubt in fans’ minds that the rivalry is alive and well. This latest exchange adds yet another chapter to the decade-long tension between two of Nigeria’s biggest musical exports — a feud that continues to divide fans and dominate pop culture discussions.
So far, neither camp has issued an official statement to clarify the comments, but the online buzz shows no signs of slowing down. As social media continues to dissect every word, it remains clear that the friendly (and sometimes not-so-friendly) rivalry between Wizkid and Davido continues to captivate audiences.
