Wizkid, whose real name is Ayodeji Balogun, is an Afrobeats musician from Nigeria. He recently made the accusation that the country's wealthy elite have used poverty as a weapon to get the poor to "worship" them.
On Wednesday, he made the accusation while publicly criticizing Davido, an associate of his, on social media.
After starting to slam Davido on Tuesday night, the 'More Love, Less Ego' singer continued to mock the DMW chief on Wednesday.
Davido is famous for his single "Omo Baba Olowo," but he insisted he was more successful and had more money.
According to Wizkid, who criticized Davido for being a "spoilt rich kid," the 'Unavailable' singer is also "cheap" and charges less than their peers in the music business.
"To start with, you're not half as cool as me. You can't sing or make music like me. You can't dress like me.
You don't earn more money than me. You don't even have shoes like me," he wrote on his X handle. Nobody knows you like you do. Your pricing is lower than ours, and you're inexpensive.
You spoiled brat, Rich, f*ck off now! You are defined by that! You and your dad's money are f*cking out of here! Everyone around you snapped! No need to bring that dweeb lawyer around town dressed as Basketmouth; our legal team is too busy to worry about that. "Young people!"
In a separate tweet, Wizkid rebutted Davido's claim that he is the "001" of Nigerian music by claiming that the wealthy have weaponized poverty in Nigeria and that Davido has surrounded himself with impoverished people so that they would love him.
You bring all these poor lads into the real world and give them visas so they will adore you instead of telling you about yourself; that's how the rich weaponize poverty in Nigeria.
Refer to you as "001," you insane dweeb! Being at home is the only time you can truly be yourself. There's more to you than just your number of Instagram followers!
"Nobody in Nigeria earns more money from music than you do! Stupid individual! You seem really unprofessional," he wrote.
