CDQ Tells Fans to Stay Out of Wizkid and Davido Fight
Nigerian rapper Sodiq Abubakar Yusuf, popularly known as CDQ, has shared his thoughts on the ongoing feud between Afrobeats heavyweights Wizkid and Davido.
The two iconic artists, who have had a history of tension over the years, reignited their rivalry earlier this year with a series of posts on social media.
The rift came to the forefront again recently, when both stars made headlines for allegedly snubbing each other at a London nightclub over the weekend, causing a stir among fans and the media.
As discussions about the feud continue to heat up, CDQ has called for calm and neutrality from fans.
Taking to his Instagram stories, the rapper cautioned against taking sides in the ongoing conflict between the two superstars, comparing their relationship to that of a married couple.
He urged fans and industry observers to refrain from fueling the rivalry, instead allowing Wizkid and Davido to resolve their differences in their way.
In his post, CDQ wrote: “People shouldn’t involve themselves in Wiz and David’s fight. They are like husband and wife. Just let them play, they’ll work it out in time.”
CDQ’s message highlights the deep-seated connection between Wizkid and Davido, despite their public disagreements.
Both artists have been instrumental in putting Nigerian music on the global stage, and their success has drawn a large number of loyal fans who sometimes feel the need to choose sides when tensions arise.
However, CDQ is advocating for a different approach, suggesting that the public should not get involved in the drama between two of Nigeria’s most successful musical exports.
Wizkid and Davido’s rivalry is not new, as the two artists have had a competitive dynamic for years, often being pitted against each other by fans and the media.
Both artists have enjoyed significant success, with Wizkid achieving international acclaim for songs like Essence and Davido topping charts with hits like Fall and If.
The ongoing rivalry between them has been one of the most talked-about stories in the Nigerian entertainment industry, but CDQ’s remarks suggest that it might be less serious than it appears.
By referring to their relationship as similar to that of a “husband and wife,” CDQ underscores the idea that Wizkid and Davido’s differences are part of a long-running dynamic that will likely continue but may not lead to a permanent fallout.
He encourages fans to step back and allow the two artists to work through their issues without external interference.
As Wizkid and Davido continue to dominate the Afrobeats scene, the eyes of the industry and fans alike remain on them.
Whether their feud will continue or eventually cool down, CDQ’s comments serve as a reminder of the importance of letting artists handle their relationships without unnecessary outside influence.
For now, it seems that both stars will continue on their separate paths, but CDQ’s perspective offers hope that, like many disputes, this too shall pass.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
