Davido reacts as DJ Maphorisa disagrees with his fan over Amapaino popularity in Nigeria
David Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, responded to DJ Maphorisa of South Africa over the ongoing argument over who made Amapiano big in Nigeria.
It all started when a Twitter user who claimed to be a fan of Davido wrote that the singer brought amapiano to Nigeria and popularised the genre after appearing on Focalistic’s remix of “Ke Star.”
According to the tweet, Wizkid’s most recent track, “Bad For Me,” was an anxious attempt to become a success following Davido’s alleged importation of the South African genre.
The message received a lot of responses as Twitter users, particularly Wizkid supporters, engaged in various history lessons in an effort to correct the record.
As the debate over Nigerian artists’ first encounters with Amapiano raged on, South African Disc Jockey/Music producer, DJ Maphorisa took it upon himself to set the record straight.
He tweeted;
“Kabza & Maphorisa was the first to put Wizkid n Burnaboy on an amapiano song Sponono dat was a historical moment 3 years ago, research before tweet also it was the first time Wiz n Burna jumped on a same song together let it sink in,” Maphorisa tweeted along with an emoji of an eagle commonly used by Wizkid.

Davido challenged DJ Maphorisa by quoting the tweet the same day, saying the record producer never liked him, and he demanded to know why.
He continued to make fun of the DJ by pointing out that his song with his South African counterpart, Focalistic, which has two massive amapiano singles with Davido, has been a success.
“You’ve never liked me y? I’ve always been good to you …. Anyways! AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY NOW!!!!!! Chu chu chu chu chu” Davido tweeted in a post that has predictably been met with different reactions.

My brother put on a countless number of artists & producers only for “some” of them to disrespect him! There’s a reason why he’s still here and y’all fell off….
