Nigerian Afrobeats artist Ayodeji Balogun, widely known as Wizkid, has playfully mocked his fellow musician Davido after his album, Morayo, became Apple Music’s most streamed album of 2025 in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Morayo surpassed Davido’s 5ive, which holds the second position on the chart.
Prior to the launch of his project, Davido confidently claimed that his album would eclipse those released before it. Many speculated that this was a jab at Wizkid, who had also released an album around the same time.
“The album will overshadow all others,” Davido had proclaimed in Pidgin.
In light of Morayo being recognized as the top Sub-Saharan African album of the year on Apple Music, ahead of Davido’s, Wizkid seemed to take a subtle jab at Davido in a recent tweet that referenced the earlier boast.

Many interpreted his tweet as a direct dig at Davido, causing some fans to worry that it might reignite their social media rivalry.
As of now, Davido has not issued a response.
