The feud between Wizkid and Davido has gone beyond mere social media subs, and this has gotten many fans worried about the two superstars.
It was a night of African music as the One Africa Music Festival went down at the Madinat Jumeirah Al Sufough, Dubai.
With performances from 2Baba, Tekno, Emma Nyra, Davido, Tiwa Savage, Wizkid, Flavour, Banky W, Vanessa Mdee, Victoria Kimani, and much more, it was quite a thrilling affair for lovers of African music.
Now Here’s the thing, there are reports from Dubai that Wizkid and Davido’s team clashed, after Wizkid reportedly punched one of Davido’s team members.
Here’s what Twitter user, @esineymar, said about the clash:
“…Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie was unable to perform at the just ended One Africa concert which took place in Dubai…When Sarkodie was just about hitting the stage, Davido’s guy attacked Black Nana by pushing him to the floor to allow Davido perform.
Things turned violent as people received slaps and blows like free Wi-Fi. There has been some police arrests. The main fight was between two of Nigeria’s very own artistes, Wizkid and Davido. Davido expressed disappointment in the organizers allowing wizkid to perform before him. This obviously didn’t sit well with Wizkid and his people as it led to a big fight backstage.
Unfortunately, things got messy at the backstage which resulted in…Sarkodie not able to perform. Sarkodie and his crew were just caught up in the cross fire set between Wizkid and Davido.”
And here’s the video recorded at the event:

Though Sarkodie did not tell his own side of the story and why he cancelled his performance, another Ghanaian gave a different account of what happened. See the tweets:
Sarkodie will no longer perform because of time constraints.
Banky W started introducing Sarkodie; talked about how he's the African rap king blablabla, and then he was signaled to introduce Davido rather.

only to find Davido repeat Wizkid’s act. Mounting the stage even without being called. Banky W, the host announced Sarkodie as the next performer while DJ Mensah set up only to be told again that Davido was coming up next. Banky W even seemed surprised.@nydjlive

Whatever the case may be, it is apparent that the feud between Wizkid and Davido has gone physical and now is spilling over, affecting the livelihood of other stars. Will the organisers of the One Africa Music Festival address this mess? We hope they do.
Meanwhile, here’s what folks think of the drama:
This Wizkid – Davido beef took a new turn tonight. A very ugly turn. It's not just talk/tweets/subs anymore. Lines have been crossed.

The police commissioner in Lagos needs to invite wizkid and davido before they go the biggie and tupac way.
