Davido Is Weaponizing Poverty In Nigeria – Wizkid

Popular singer, Wizkid has come out to say that the only time Davido is 001 is when he is in his house.

He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Davido is 001 of nothing except for Instagram followers, and since Nigeria is a place where the rich weaponize poverty, he can easily get broke boys visas and have them worship him.

Wizkid added that OBO is not as fly as him, cannot make music like him, and doesn’t make more money than him.

His words, “The only time u’re 001 is when u’re in your house. U’re not 001 of nothing but Instagram followers!

Naija is a place the rich weaponize poverty so u carry all these broke boys in real life and get them visas so they worship u.

When u see people wey dem papa and family train, u go know! U don’t see my uncle dancing online.

No! Puma is a big brand, but the budget they had for Africa wasn’t for me! Was cool for your client tho!

I turned down Puma cos they could no longer afford to pay me cos I wanted more! Don’t need dat! Way bigger than every artiste u just mentioned!

First off, you can’t afford me fool! You are doing business with the right person you can afford!

You’re not as fly as me, can’t sing or make music like me, u don’t make more money than me.”

WOW.
