Nigerian singers Wande Coal and Davido reignited their long-running feud on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, trading sharp insults on X over the unreleased 2021 collaboration "Come My Way," drawing thousands of reactions from fans and observers.
Dispute Traces Back to 2021 Track
The disagreement stems from "Come My Way," a Wande Coal track released in 2021. A studio snippet featuring a Davido verse had circulated online years earlier, building fan anticipation for a collaboration that was ultimately never released.
In a recent interview, Davido said he recorded the verse after Wande approached him, but he objected to appearing only on a remix once the original solo version had already dropped. He also noted his large catalogue of unreleased material, framing his decision as a matter of principle rather than personal grievance.
Wande Coal Responds and Davido Fires Back
Wande Coal took to X to challenge that account, insisting the track had a confirmed release plan and date before any dispute arose. He questioned why Davido would set terms on a song that was not theirs to begin with, and emphasized that the record performed strongly without his feature.
Davido's reply was brief: "No vex Mr Little ?." Wande Coal fired back almost immediately with "No vex too Mr. Toto beggar ?," prompting an explosion of reactions across the platform.
"Come My Way" had already logged significant commercial success as a solo release before either artist revisited the conversation publicly, making the timing of the fallout striking for fans watching two heavyweights of Nigerian music trade blows over a song most people had moved on from.
Fans Take Sides Online
The exchange attracted thousands of likes, replies, and quote posts within hours, pulling in supporters and critics on both sides. Some fans defended Davido, while others criticized Wande Coal or questioned his motives.
