‘You Can’t Be Criticizing Davido’s Work When Your’s Has Lacked Connectivity – Joey Akan Knocks Wizkid

Nigerian journalist, Joey Akan, has berated Grammy award-winning singer, Wizkid, for reigniting his long-standing rivalry with his colleague, Davido.

Naija News reported that drama started on Tuesday after Davido announced his first single of 2024, revealing that the track would be a hit.

However, Wizkid, on his X page, wrote: “P***y boys dropping mid again, una don tire! Make una go rest small!”

Although the ‘Ojuelegba’ hitmaker did not mention Davido’s name, fans interpreted the tweet as a direct shot at Davido.

A fan of Davido, however, fired back at Wizkid, accusing him of using the ‘Assurance’ crooner to chase clout.

The user wrote: “So if you no beef @davido your song won’t sell??”

Responding, Wizkid said: “I don’t beef wack niggas! We all know he’s wack! No talent!

In a post via X, Joey expressed disappointment at Wizkid over the lingering beef, describing it as ‘repeated waves of secondhand embarrassment’ and nothing has come out of it since 1992.

Joey also slammed Wizkid for criticizing Davido’s works, stressing that the ‘Ojuelegba’ crooner’s art has lacked connectivity for two years.

He wrote, “Wizkid dragging Davido doesn’t hit as he’s led to believe by drama-thirsty NPC FCs. It falls flat on its face, more repugnant than entertaining or endearing.

“It just evokes a piercing dose of pity from me. And lingering disappointment from repeated waves of secondhand embarrassment.

“Once again, the moment he descended the Mt Olympus of “Made in Lagos,” and started engaging with mortals again. All he’s succeeded in showing us is a mass realisation that the gods are driven by the same things that drive mortals. Ego. Pettiness. Malice?

“Nothing profound has come from this era so far. Just bile. Vile public attacks. And an insistence in forcing a 1992 beef.

“You can’t be dragging your colleague’s art when yours has lacked connectivity for two years.

“Zero self-awareness. A loss of focus on the pulse of the people. Or a critical of lack of knowledge of the public’s behavioural feedback.

“People dey wait for music, you dey feed us beef. Reading the crowd wrongly.

“Drop for us.”
