Nigerian artist Peruzzi has openly criticized Wizkid for making derogatory remarks about Davido, who is not only a fellow musician but also the head of Peruzzi’s record label. This backlash comes in response to a recent incident where Wizkid shared a video on social media that captured Davido in a moment of vulnerability, begging a woman. The video quickly went viral, sparking a flurry of reactions and being perceived by many as a direct jab at Davido.
The controversy has attracted significant attention, particularly because Wizkid chose to begin the week by stirring the pot, leading to heightened tensions within the music community. Peruzzi’s rebuke of Wizkid’s actions underscores the loyalty and protective instincts that often characterize relationships within record labels.
Additionally, Peruzzi found himself in a direct exchange with a Wizkid fan who criticized him for intervening in the dispute between the two prominent artists. This fan interaction occurred during a broader discussion where followers were pressing Wizkid for a new music release. Echoing the theme of the controversial video, Wizkid playfully suggested that his fans should plead with him for new music in the same manner depicted in the video of Davido.
This series of events highlights not only the personal dynamics between these top artists but also the way such conflicts can captivate the fanbase and influence public perception. Peruzzi stepping into defend Davido adds another dimension to the ongoing rivalry, emphasizing the complex web of alliances and oppositions that define the Afrobeat music scene.
