“My biggest challenge? Making Wizkid and Davido to love each other, that’s my biggest challenge,” he said during the session.
The DJ, who has been a close member of Wizkid’s Starboy team for years, admitted that resolving the tension between the two artists has not been easy, despite multiple behind-the-scenes attempts.
The rivalry between Wizkid and Davido has been a hot topic in Nigeria’s music scene for over a decade. While the pair have occasionally shown signs of reconciliation, their differences resurfaced publicly in October 2024, when both exchanged jabs on social media, reigniting fan wars across platforms.
Music industry insiders including singer Iyanya and Davido’s manager Asa Asika have at different times called on the duo to set aside their differences and unite for the greater good of Afrobeats.
As two of Nigeria’s biggest musical exports, Wizkid and Davido continue to dominate the global scene, but their personal relationship remains a subject of public intrigue and media speculation.
Whether DJ Tunez’s peace efforts will yield results remains to be seen, but his comments have once again drawn attention to one of Afrobeats’ most talked-about rivalries.
