Phyna Faces Backlash for Supporting Wizkid in Ongoing Fight with Davido

BBNaija ‘Level Up’ champion, Phyna, has found herself at the center of controversy following her public endorsement of Wizkid amid his ongoing fight with Davido.

In the last 24 hours, Wizkid has been engaged in a fierce online confrontation, during which he has made derogatory remarks about Davido, labeling him as “wack” and questioning his talent. Wizkid’s barrage of tweets, which included profanities, has elicited a significant response across social media platforms, although Davido has not yet issued a reply. As the conflict between these two prominent figures in the Afrobeats genre continues to capture public attention, Phyna intensified the situation by openly supporting Wizkid.

On her Twitter account, now known as X, Phyna referred to the artist with the term “Popsy,” a nickname commonly used by Wizkid’s fanbase. Her tweet, interpreted as a show of solidarity with Wizkid, quickly drew criticism, with many fans and followers accusing her of taking a stance in a contentious and sensitive matter related to the fight with Davido.

As the fight with Davido unfolds, the dynamics between these artists continue to spark intense debate, with fans divided over their loyalty and the implications of public endorsements.

Meanwhile, Davido, recently took to social media to address comments made by fellow musician Wizkid, who had thrown shade his way. The controversy began when Wizkid criticized Davido’s decision to release a new song at the same time as the highly anticipated launch of his own album, Morayo.

Wizkid took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his disapproval, dismissing Davido’s new release as subpar. He also referred to him as “Fogido” and mockingly called Davido’s loyal fanbase “30 Bingos” instead of the popular “30BG.”

This sparked reactions from 30BG fans, with one supporter accusing Wizkid of using Davido’s name to stir up publicity for his upcoming album. Wizkid responded by insisting he had no need to use Davido for promotion and once again reiterated his claim that Davido lacks talent.

Amidst this online feud, Davido, known for his hit song Unavailable, chose to remain above the fray. Rather than engaging in further back-and-forth, he took to his verified X account to share exciting news about his upcoming collaboration with PUMA.

Davido’s tweet read, “Touchdown NYC!! Excited about tonight @puma X Davido New collection Unveiling! ????,” highlighting his focus on success and growth, unfazed by the rivalry. He subtly reminded everyone of his winning partnership with PUMA, a brand that Wizkid once represented as an ambassador.
