Wizkid didn’t stop there. He revealed that he had turned down a deal with sports brand Puma, stating that the company couldn’t meet his financial expectations. According to Wizkid, though Puma is a reputable brand, their budget for Africa wasn’t in line with his worth, but it suited Davido just fine.
In a further series of tweets, Wizkid continued his critique, claiming that when it comes to music, style, and wealth, Davido simply doesn’t measure up. He referred to the "Unavailable" singer as a "spoilt rich kid" living off his father’s fortune, adding that most people in Davido’s circle are broke. Wizkid compared his own legal team to Davido’s, stating that while Davido’s lawyer follows him around, his own lawyers are busy handling business.
Wizkid also weighed in on the broader issue of wealth and influence in Nigeria. He accused rich individuals of "weaponizing poverty" and suggested that Davido surrounds himself with people who depend on him for visas and other perks, ensuring they never speak the truth to him. In closing, Wizkid stated that Davido is only "001 in his house" and doesn’t out-earn anyone else in the Nigerian music industry.
