Nigerian music sensation Davido has unleashed a powerful warning to his critics and rivals online, creating a social media storm that coincides with fellow superstar Burna Boy facing significant challenges during his United States tour.
Davido's Fiery Social Media Outburst
The music industry was set abuzz when Davido took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to deliver a series of strongly worded messages aimed at his opponents. In posts that quickly went viral, the 5IVE crooner declared that divine justice was underway for those who had plotted against him.
"Dey fool yourself … my head go soon catch you ? … everybody go collect from my God," Davido wrote in one of his trending tweets that captivated fans and critics alike.
The artist further amplified his message by retweeting a post from 2024 that stated: "Anybody wey do me bad go collect this year one by one just Dey watch … e don start already ?." In yet another post, the Afrobeats star added the ominous warning: "Evil human beings … You will learn."
Burna Boy's American Tour Troubles
Davido's social media outburst comes at a particularly challenging time for his colleague Burna Boy, who is currently navigating controversy during his 'No Sign of Weakness Tour' in the United States. Reports have emerged indicating that major shows on the tour have been unexpectedly cancelled, though official confirmation remains pending.
The tour difficulties follow a viral incident during one of Burna Boy's recent US performances, where the singer paused his show to confront a female fan who appeared to be sleeping in the front row. The situation escalated when the fan was eventually escorted out of the venue by her companion, with the confrontation playing out before thousands of concert attendees.
This incident reignited existing criticism of the artist after an older video resurfaced where Burna Boy expressed his preference for "rich fans" and stated that he doesn't beg anyone for support.
Mixed Reactions from Fans and Critics
The online community has responded with divided opinions to the unfolding drama between Nigeria's music heavyweights. Social media platforms have been flooded with reactions from fans of both artists, creating a digital battleground of opinions.
One user, melanin_ruth_, commented: "lol nobody can c@ncel burna…. He himself should bring his pride down and apologise!!!" while jcdaniels_i_airende noted: "Burna is my favorite artist in the world, but bro got so much pride and so full of himself… bro need to be humble ??."
Other reactions highlighted the ongoing rivalry dynamics, with official__horpeyemy stating: "Nah why I like my idol big wiz. He go mention name ??" in reference to Wizkid's more direct approach to calling out rivals.
Some fans defended Davido's right to express himself, with amarachiu__ commenting: "Davido is not fighting himself trust me… Someone must have done something for him to react like this. He expresses himself and that's ok . We his fans love him sooo very much."
The controversy has also drawn in celebrity commentator Cubana Chiefpriest, who recently gave Burna Boy a new name during his travels to Uyo, Akwa Ibom state with Davido for a concert performance.
As the situation continues to develop, the Nigerian music community watches closely to see how both artists will navigate these challenges and whether Davido's warnings will translate into further developments in the ongoing dynamics between Afrobeats' biggest stars.
