Davido has publicly responded to Wande Coal's disputed claims by sharing a WhatsApp screenshot on his X page, backing up statements he made in a recent interview that had sparked widespread discussion in the music industry.
Background of the Disagreement
The conflict between the two Afrobeats artists centers on an unreleased verse Davido recorded for Wande Coal's track "Come My Way." According to Davido, he objected to the verse being packaged as a remix after the solo version had already been released, preferring a different rollout strategy. Wande Coal, however, pushed back on X, disputing Davido's version of events and noting that the song performed well regardless of the feature situation.
Davido's Interview Claims and Evidence
In an interview on August 18, 2026, Davido stated that Wande Coal had been trying to obtain his phone number through a mutual contact roughly two weeks prior. Davido said he instructed the intermediary not to share the number, describing the older artist's behavior as acting like a baby. He said, "He's been looking for my attention for some reason, I don't know. He even asked for my number two weeks ago and I told them not to give him. So he's — he's just acting like a baby; but he'll be fine."
To substantiate his claim, Davido posted a WhatsApp screenshot on his X page, quoting a tweet that carried his interview clip. The screenshot, dated July 22, contains a message that reads: "Baddest Wande Coal said he wants your number can I give him?" The post quickly went viral, with fans interpreting it as confirmation that the number request indeed occurred.
