Davido and Wande Coal have escalated a dispute over their shelved collaboration into a public social media war, trading personal insults on X. The conflict began after Davido gave an interview explaining why their joint record "Come My Way" was never released, and Wande Coal publicly rejected his account.
Conflicting Accounts Over Shelved Collaboration
During a recent interview with Uncut, Davido stated that Wande Coal initially approached him for a feature, and he delivered a verse he considered outstanding. According to Davido, the breakdown occurred due to a disagreement over the structure of the release. However, on Tuesday, 18 August, Wande Coal took to X to directly challenge Davido's version of events, making clear he did not accept the claim that a release strategy dispute killed the song.
The pushback set off a chain of exchanges between the two artists, with both throwing shade at each other in the days that followed.
Personal Insults Exchanged
Things took a sharp turn when Davido moved beyond the musical dispute to attack Wande Coal personally. He wrote on X: "No vex Mr Little," a comment widely understood as a jab at the singer's anatomy. Wande Coal fired back, writing: "No vex too Mr. Toto beggar," referencing a longstanding online taunt that has followed Davido.
Social media users reacted swiftly. @biguncleradio commented: "Wizkid will soon come online and tweet 'LOVE GOD' or 'BIGGEST'. Just watch next 24hrs." @ugonnwa_ shared: "Now watch Davido and his fans act like victims as usual. They throw stones and hide." @industrynightfornigeria added: "Same Wande Coal wey David use abuse Burna that year??? See life God of Burna Boy."
Reactions and Context
The feud comes amid renewed attention on Davido's family political history. In a resurfaced interview shared on Sunday, 16 August 2026, Davido revealed that his late uncle, Isiaka Adeleke, was the first politician in the family, followed by Ademola Adeleke. His comments sparked mixed reactions online, with some Nigerians questioning the idea of political leadership being passed down within a family as though it were an inheritance.
As of this report, neither artist has indicated any plans to reconcile, and the exchange continues to generate widespread commentary on social media.
