Key Points
- Wizkid shares new posts that many fans link to Tycoon. They say the harsh words answer an earlier jab online.

- The bitter exchange deepens old Davido and Wizkid fan tensions. Some observers now beg both camps to calm things down.
Wizkid (Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun) has stirred fresh drama online after dropping a string of dark tweets that many fans believe were aimed at Davido crew member Tycoon (Kayode Yajaur).
The posts, which mention death and grief, arrived hours after Tycoon appeared to mock the peace of Wizkid’s late father in a now viral message.
Screenshots shared by blogs show Tycoon writing that “your daddy will never see rest,” a line many readers linked to Wizkid’s late parent.
The harsh post quickly spread and reopened old debates about the long-running Davido and Wizkid rivalry, a topic already fuelled by a recent Mr Jollof clash over the two stars’ generosity. A recent online clash over Wizkid debt claims showed how fast these fan fights now flare up.
Not long after Tycoon’s message gained traction, Wizkid fired off several tweets from his verified account. In one, he wrote that his targets have “enough dead people” around them to mourn and urged them to “add more tears.”
Many readers read that as a sharp dig at recent losses in Davido’s circle and accused the singer of crossing a moral line. Others argued that the comments, while harsh, were a raw reaction from an artist who felt his late father had been disrespected in public.
How the fresh online clash started
Tycoon, known as part of Davido’s wider crew, had already been trending before Wizkid weighed in. His message about someone’s father never finding rest struck many as cruel, and some Davido fans tried to defend it as simple banter.
Wizkid fans disagreed and called the words a direct hit at the singer’s grief, pointing to how often the rival camps drag family into their online fights.
The latest flare-up follows a pattern of tense exchanges around both stars. Just weeks ago, Davido associate Isreal DMW publicly dragged Wizkid while insisting Davido remains “001,” a claim that kept their fan bases at each other’s throats. ValidUpdates covered that saga in detail in an earlier piece on how Isreal DMW blasts Wizkid claims Davido remains 001.
Fans read tweets as reply to Tycoon
Once Wizkid’s new tweets landed, many users linked them straight to Tycoon’s jab. In one post, the star wrote that he thought “all of una don die finish” before asking if any were still left. Fans from both camps argued over whether the line targeted Tycoon alone or a wider group of long-time critics who often mention Davido in comparisons.
Another tweet saw Wizkid laugh at claims that a certain album would “swallow” his own work. He hinted that the record now “dey ground dey smell,” a clear attempt to belittle unnamed rivals and their latest projects.
Commenters quickly named Davido in reaction threads, though the singer himself was not mentioned directly in any of the posts.
In a further message, Wizkid warned that “na our matter go dey kill all of una one by one.” The line deepened concern that the exchange had moved beyond normal music rivalry into talk that many considered insensitive about death.
Critics said both sides should leave family and loss out of any argument, especially when fans are still healing from real-life tragedies linked to the industry.
Wizkid and Davido tension keeps sparking online
The heated back-and-forth shows how fragile peace remains between the two Afrobeats giants and their fan bases. Every small post or like now gets read as a coded message, from tour announcements to studio snaps.
Earlier this year, ValidUpdates reported on how Tiwa Savage tried to end her own rift with Davido while also clearing rumours about Wizkid, another sign of how their names are never far from major industry debates.
Music insiders often note that the rivalry, while sometimes good for streams, can also overshadow the stars’ work. Some point to past calls from insiders like Asa Asika, who argued that a Davido and Wizkid joint project could
push Afrobeats even further on the world stage. That hope now feels distant each time a crew member or associate throws a fresh jab on social media.
Under Wizkid’s latest posts, a number of fans urged him to delete the harsher lines and focus on music wins instead. Others told Tycoon and Davido’s camp to stop using dead relatives as punchlines or insults in any response.
A quieter group tried to steer the talk back to new albums, tour plans and the global growth of Afrobeats rather than personal pain.
For now, neither Wizkid nor Davido has issued a formal statement on the clash, and Tycoon’s tweet remains the main trigger fans point at when tracing how the fire started.
Whether the stars step in to calm their camps or let the drama run its course, the episode again shows how fast one cruel sentence can light up old wounds between two of Nigeria’s biggest acts
