Former Big Brother Naija reality star and talented skit maker, DeeOne, has voiced his frustrations regarding popular Nigerian singer Davido’s behaviour, particularly in the wake of recent events involving him and fellow artist Wizkid.
In a notable video message shared on his Instagram account, DeeOne addressed the contrasting actions of the DMW boss that he believes complicate support for the artist due to his controversial nature.
The commentary stems from an episode that occurred at a nightclub in London, where both music heavyweights were reportedly in attendance on the same night.
This occurrence has captivated fans and fueled the ongoing narrative of rivalry between both stars, and DeeOne did not hesitate to express his disappointment at Davido’s decision to frequent the same venue. “Davido, you make it very difficult for someone to support you,” DeeOne began, addressing the singer directly in his message.
He elaborated on his perplexity over the circumstances that unfolded that night, highlighting a contradiction in the public narrative surrounding Davido and Wizkid. “A few weeks ago, everyone was blaming Wizkid for ‘touting’ you online. Now, you’re entering the same club as Wizkid in London. Why can’t you ignore him if not that you’re a fan?”
DeeOne stated, emphasizing that the rivalry appeared to be brewing once again. His point underscores an underlying struggle that many fans experience when trying to support their favourite artists, particularly when those artists’ actions seem to contradict their public personas.
DeeOne went on to reflect upon his stance regarding the conflict between the two singers. “I was among those who blamed Wizkid for ‘touting’ you online,” he admitted, referring to the negative remarks directed at Wizkid for supposedly undermining Davido in the past.
However, he quickly pivoted to highlight how Davido’s actions were creating a complicated situation for his supporters. “Okay, you didn’t record Wizkid at the club, but your boys were recording him. He didn’t even notice you guys,” he remarked, pointing out that while both artists are undisputedly talented, the situation has fueled uncertainty around Davido’s public demeanour.
The commentary touched on a potent question about the nature of celebrity rivalry and support within the Nigerian music industry.
“The both of you are talented, but Wizkid is more charismatic,” DeeOne commented, indicating that while Davido has considerable abilities, his approach to the night out lacked the charm and finesse that could have diffused the situation.
He further questioned the practicality of colliding in such scenarios. “Was Wizkid supposed to fight you after spotting you at the club?” he asked rhetorically, suggesting that confrontation was far from an ideal resolution to the ongoing tension.
DeeOne expressed a sense of disillusionment regarding Davido’s behaviour since his marriage. “Someone will support you today; tomorrow you will go back to your default,” he cautioned, signifying a pattern of inconsistencies that have frustrated fans. “I thought marriage would change you, but that is not the reality,” he concluded, accentuating a sentiment that many followers echo regarding their favourite artists.
As the conversation about the rivalry continues to heat up, it remains to be seen how Davido will navigate the complexities of his public image in light of opinions like DeeOne’s.
Supporters of both artists are left grappling with contrasting narratives and hoping for a resolution to the tension that has long characterized the relationship between these two musical giants.
The ongoing saga between Davido and Wizkid not only affects their dynamics but also impacts their fans who admire their music, making DeeOne’s perspective a reminder of the intricacies and expectations within the vibrant world of African music entertainment.
