The Nigerian entertainment scene witnessed another social media drama as Davido's trusted aide, Isreal DMW, locked horns with Wizkid's associate, DJ Tunez, in a heated online exchange that quickly captured fans' attention.
The Beginning of the Beef
The conflict ignited when Wizkid and DJ Tunez took to social media to highlight their significance in the music industry. This prompted an immediate response from Isreal DMW, who didn't hold back in his criticism of both celebrities.
In his social media post, Isreal DMW referred to the disc jockey as an "illegitimate child" and mockingly called him "DJ Tunnel" instead of Tunez. He demanded respect for his "own king," clearly referring to Davido, while accusing DJ Tunez of failing to respect his own "dwarf" - a direct jab at Wizkid's stature.
DJ Tunez Fires Back With Viral Video
Not one to take the insults lying down, DJ Tunez responded with equal ferocity. The music associate delivered his own set of insults but added salt to injury by sharing the viral video of Davido slapping Isreal DMW.
The controversial clip, which had circulated months earlier, captured the moment Davido tapped Isreal sharply on the shoulder as he attempted to enter an event venue before his boss. This strategic counterattack from DJ Tunez turned the tables in the online confrontation.
Nigerian Fans React to Celebrity Beef
As the drama unfolded, fans from both camps quickly picked sides while offering their perspectives on the situation. Many supporters expressed concern that Wizkid might join the fray, with one fan noting that his involvement would "scatter everything."
Other observers urged Davido to caution his aide, pointing out that Isreal had been targeting Wizkid without provocation. Some fans attempted to calm tensions between both fanbases, recalling last year's feud between the two music superstars themselves.
