Kiddominant Addresses Davido and DJ Maphorisa’s Amapiano War
The Davido & DJ Maphorisa’s Amapiano war has been joined by Ayoola Oladapo Agboola, better known as Kiddominant, with a new twist that centres on him.
On Wednesday, August 14, 2022, a Twitter user made the assertion that Davido founded Amapiano in Africa, sparking the aforementioned dispute.
The 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 South African producer and DJ responded to the user’s tweet by stating that the first Amapiano song to feature Nigerian artists was called “Sponono” and featured Wizkid and Burna Boy. The song became a hit in 2019.

Quoting the tweet the same day, Davido slammed DJ Maphorisa, stating that the record producer never liked him.
In an update, Kiddominant, a known close associate and producer of Davido, took to Twitter to claim to be the first to debut amapiano in West Africa, alongside South African rapper Cassper Nyovest with their collab ‘eWallet.’
He wrote;
“Me and Cassper “ewallet” started amapiano in west africa. Sponono followed and made it bigger then David & foca really took the genre to another level. Fact”
