Recall, In recent social media posts, Wizkid subtly criticized Don Jazzy and Ladipoe in response to the rapper’s remarks on the challenges facing Afrobeats.
The acclaimed singer took to his social media platforms to address comments and questions from fans, where he made veiled jabs at Don Jazzy, the CEO of Mavin Records, and Ladipoe, his artist.
This reaction came shortly after stirring speculation of a possible feud with Davido following a recent video update.
Wizkid’s comments were triggered by Ladipoe’s post on social media, which highlighted the resilience of Nigerian rappers amidst the rise of Afrobeats.
During an online exchange with fans, Wizkid indirectly addressed Ladipoe’s remark, suggesting his reluctance to engage with someone associated with an influencer.
While initially cryptic, a perceptive social media user connected the dots, linking Don Jazzy to Ladipoe’s comment. Wizkid later retweeted the user’s post, confirming their accurate interpretation of the situation.
