Nigerian celebrity barman and socialite, Cubana Chiefpriest, has stirred significant reactions online with a new post praising music superstar Davido. The post, made on Saturday, December 6, 2025, contained what many interpreted as a subtle jab at Davido's perceived rival, Wizkid, amidst their ongoing online saga.
Chiefpriest's Viral Instagram Shoutout
In the now-viral Instagram post, Cubana Chiefpriest, known for his close friendship with Davido, showered accolades on the 'Unavailable' crooner. He declared that shutting down major events is the only language they understand, urging Davido to return home soon.
He wrote, "Ori Ade…. Only Shutdown Is The Language We Understand. Come Home Soon, Brotherly @davido Make We Use Lifestyle Blind Dem Eyes." The post took a more pointed turn as he appeared to throw shade at Wizkid's camp, stating their limitations compared to Davido's influence.
"I’m So Proud Of You, Almost Everything Don Dey Ground Na Make You The Bo$$ Land. The Highest They Can Do Is To Type Shitt, They Don’t Have Your Type Of Money and Power, So They Are In Trouble For Life," Chiefpriest added, in a clear comparison that fans linked to the Davido-Wizkid narrative.
Political Warning to President Tinubu
This entertainment-focused post came shortly after Cubana Chiefpriest made headlines for a serious political statement. He reacted to the life imprisonment sentence of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), by a Federal High Court in Abuja.
On his Instagram, the socialite issued a direct warning to President Bola Tinubu, linking Kanu's detention to electoral fortunes in the South East. He stated that as long as Kanu remains incarcerated, Tinubu should not expect meaningful support from the region in the 2027 presidential election.
"President… as long as MNK remains in jail, you cannot and will never get up to 10,000 votes in Southeast come 2027," he asserted. Chiefpriest clarified this was not an attack but a friendly warning, urging the government to appeal the judgment to repair relations with the region.
Mixed Reactions from Netizens
The post praising Davido quickly trended online, sparking a flood of comments from fans and critics alike. Supporters of Davido celebrated the show of loyalty, while others defended Wizkid's stature in the music industry.
One user, @standardgram_, commented, "Na this una captions de give wizkid sleepless night??." Another, @obifine6, hailed Davido as "THE MOST ACTIVE ARTIST OF 2025."
However, a user named @meek__val countered the claims about money and power, referencing Forbes rankings: "Money way Forbes rank am as 4th, Wiz as first, power? Person way no get influence... Na why e no dey top 5 most artist on both apple music and Spotify."
The divergent views highlight the intense and often polarized nature of fan interactions within the Nigerian Afrobeats scene, where support for top artists like Davido and Wizkid frequently leads to online debates.
