Afro-Pop stars, Ayodeji ‘Wizkid’ Balogun and David ‘Davido’ Adeleke, have risen to become two of the biggest influences on the Nigerian music industry – and by extension its pop culture – in the last decade.
“From ‘Ojuelegba’ to ‘If’, there have not been two singles that have charted the course of the industry more in the last decade. So, considering all these parameters, it is without a doubt that if the decade is being looked at extensively, Wizkid and Davido will comfortably sit as the two biggest proponents out of Nigeria,” Ohunyon, who resides in Canada reeled.
“It is an absolute yes for me again because you have narrowed it down to pop music. Wizkid and Davido are peerless in that sector. They both have robust repertoires and are pop culture icons. They are leading the charge of Nigeria’s Afro beats exportation to the world,” Oyetayo quips. Despite the controversies surrounding their relationship and lifestyle in the last 10 years, their art remains their biggest legacy ultimately. The music created by Wizkid and Davido has inspired the likes of Mayorkun, Terri, Teni d entertainer, and more. The legacies of Wizkid and Davido in the last ten years are humongous enough to be envied.
“Describing their rivalry, sadly it has had ugly moments like when their crew engaged in a physical clash at the 2017 One Music Fest in Dubai or when we see fans from both sides insult each other on social media. These are ugly dots that we don’t need and gladly the two artistes have been able to show some measure of maturity as they have now openly mended fences and support each other, but if we are being honest, the rivalry was unavoidable.
