A nostalgic throwback video featuring Nigerian music superstars Wizkid and Davido performing together has resurfaced online, sending waves of excitement through the Afrobeats community. The footage from 2013 shows the two artists sharing the stage at Sharon Adeleke's wedding reception, long before their fan bases became known for intense rivalry.
The Viral Performance That Captured a Different Era
In the recently resurfaced clip, both Wizkid and Davido appear in high spirits, smiling and delivering energetic performances that electrified the wedding guests. The atmosphere was filled with pure excitement as the two Afrobeats giants vibed together on stage, showcasing a camaraderie that many newer fans have never witnessed.
The video provides a rare glimpse into a time when the relationship between the two artists appeared much warmer. Members of the Adeleke family, including current Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, were spotted in the footage dancing and enjoying the musical performances alongside other family members B-Red and Sina Rambo.
Social Media Reactions to the Throwback Clip
As the footage circulated across social media platforms this week, numerous users expressed surprise at how close the pair once appeared. The reactions compiled from various platforms reveal mixed emotions among fans.
One user named unleashconcept commented: "But I don't think we appreciate David enough oooo. Hear songs" while another user peterndk_big7 recalled "Ekuro use to be my favorite of Davido b4 Kante."
Several comments highlighted the current state of the artists' relationship, with user ken_12378 noting "Them be Brotherhood for life" and dammy_chase2007 suggesting "Nah fans Dey do like them Dey fight."
The video also drew attention to Sharon Adeleke's dance moves, with multiple users commenting on her energetic performance during the celebration.
Broader Context of Wizkid-Davido Relationship
The resurfaced wedding performance video comes amid ongoing discussions about the current relationship between the two music icons. The timing is particularly noteworthy given recent tensions between the artists that have played out publicly.
Recall that on October 2, Wizkid directed abusive comments toward Davido, targeting his craft and family members. This incident sparked widespread reactions across social media platforms and even attracted attention from fellow artist Burna Boy, who weighed in on the controversy.
Many fans have used the throwback video as evidence that the artists once maintained a more cordial relationship, with some expressing hope that they might eventually reconcile their differences. The contrast between their past collaboration and current rivalry has become a focal point for discussions about the pressures of fame and the evolution of relationships in the entertainment industry.
The video serves as a powerful reminder of how the Nigerian music scene has evolved over the past decade, and how personal relationships between artists can transform as their careers reach global heights.
