No go dey hustle like fool – Wizkid trolls Davido after his meme coin plunges in value
Multiple award-winning artist Wizkid has sparked an intense debate on social media with a recent post that appears to throw shade at fellow artist Davido following the plunge in value of Davido’s meme coin.
On May 30, 2024, Davido launched his meme coin in partnership with Phantom and Solana, adding another surprising move to his repertoire. The coin initially gained significant popularity, soaring to 14 times its initial value as early investors took large profits. However, like many meme coins, the $Davido coin soon dipped dramatically, dropping to less than $0.001579—a 90% decrease in its valuation.
Nigerians on social media have reacted strongly to the coin’s performance, with some observers labeling it a quick cash grab. Before launching his own cryptocurrency, Davido had promoted other coins, $RAPDOGE and $ECHOKE, both of which also tanked in value.
Amid the fallout from Davido’s meme coin launch and its subsequent crash, Wizkid, with whom Davido has had a longstanding beef, posted a message on his X account: “Work smart so you no go dey hustle like fool.” This comment is widely seen as a veiled dig at Davido.
The post has generated significant reactions online, indicating that the rivalry between Davido and Wizkid continues to intensify.
Work smart make u no go Dey hustle like fool ❤️ 🦅

Big Wiz’s comment, which included advising people to let love lead and guide their decision-making and interactions, has further fueled the ongoing debate on social media. While the context of this statement remains uncertain, it aligns with Wizkid’s recent trend of sharing motivational and advisory messages with his followers as anticipation builds for his upcoming album, “Morayo.”
In recent times, Wizkid has been known for offering words of wisdom and encouragement, aiming to inspire his audience. This dual message—both a veiled dig at Davido and a call for love and thoughtful decision-making—has sparked considerable discussion among fans and observers.
As the release date for “Morayo” approaches, many are closely watching Wizkid’s social media for further insights and messages, adding to the excitement surrounding his new music.
