It seems the days of Davido and Wizkid dominating the Afrobeats scene are slowly fading, as rising stars like Asake and Rema take center stage. While the new wave of Afrobeats artists focuses on dropping hits and climbing the charts globally, Davido and Wizkid are busy trading insults on social media. For the past few days, both artists have clashed online, turning the internet into a battleground for their fans, while neither focuses on their music.
The New Stars are Taking Over
Let’s be real—while Davido and Wizkid are busy fueling their rivalry with petty jabs, artists like Asake and Rema are leading the charge and taking Afrobeats to new heights. Asake’s back-to-back hits and chart-topping albums, along with Rema’s global success with songs like “Calm Down,” clearly demonstrate that a new generation of artists is already taking over the Afrobeats scene. They are spending their time in studios and on stages worldwide, while Davido and Wizkid are more concerned with who can throw the better insult online.
What Happened to the Music?
Remember when Davido and Wizkid were the face of Nigerian music? Their global tours, award wins, and undeniable talent made them the biggest stars from Africa. But in 2024, they seem more interested in social media spats. From Wizkid calling Davido’s music “mid” to Davido suggesting Wizkid’s career is already dead, their insults have taken center stage. While they are busy posting on Twitter, artists like Asake are busy performing across sold-out venues and making waves in the international market.
Are They Fighting to Stay Relevant?
It’s worth asking: Is this social media war really about rivalry, or are Davido and Wizkid struggling to stay relevant? With the likes of Burna Boy, Asake, and Rema taking Afrobeats to new levels, the old guards are starting to look outdated. If they were truly on top of their game, would they have the time to bicker online? Maybe the endless quarrels are a sign that both artists need to put more effort into their music and less into their social media presence.
If their fans are being honest, they’d have to admit it: Asake and Rema are setting the pace, while Davido and Wizkid remain stuck in a battle that no longer matters.
