This is why Wizkid and Davido will likely never make a song together and the influence of the rivalry on the culture.
Wizkid and Davido are two young African artists transforming the perception of the continent and shaking up the global mainstream with their infectious Afrobeats sound.
Their professional or rather intentional beef brought a lot of changes in the Nigerian music industry, I describe it as intentional Beef because of how it translates into their coins, which simply means that their bags get heavier as long as it lingers.
Consistency translates into a heavy bag, the music business is practically similar to other professional businesses, of which consistency yields more earnings, thereby boost artistical booking fee.
Although, the rivalry has helped both to maintain longevity and consistency even though the potential greatness of their combined talents was also evident as seen on different occasions.
This post will specifically highlight the influence of the rivalry between them and also why they are not likely to make a song together.
However, the cause of what exploded into arguably the biggest rivalry in Nigerian music history will not be the priority at this point.

Meanwhile, they have individually carried the culture consistently for over a decade now and yet still very much relevant in the Nigerian music industry.
music rivalry is always a big sign of cultural development which enhances industrial prevalence, now let’s take a toll on other big music industry in the world, how professional beef has been used to improve their industry.
before Wizkid and Davido, we’ve had a series of rivalry in the Nigerian music industry, including Ruggedman and Eedris Abdulkareem,
It’s not a flick that the feuds between Wizkid and Davido are going down to one of the most iconic in the Nigerian music industry.

In the US, Tupac and Biggie, Nas and Jay Z, Kanye West and Jay Z, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, even till now fans haven’t stopped from assuming the worst about Beyoncé and Rihanna relationship, acting like two legends cannot coexist.
One of the few reason rivalries is inevitable in any music industry in the world today.
Tupac and Biggie had their time, considered as two of the most talented hip-hop rappers on the scene, initially, started small but grew to the pinnacle and how they went from friends to music’s biggest rivals,
Comparing the similarities, Tupac entered the music scene two years before Biggie, on the other hand, Wizkid was just a year old before Davido launched into the scene, both entrances undoubtedly created a significant impact in the industry.
Aside from personal and private feuds, there is still professional mutual respect between the two, sometimes stan creates misunderstanding with a nonexistent topic to attack each other fanbases.
Why would they likely never make a song together? simply because they need the rivalry to stay afloat, it keeps them on the top trend in the Nigerian music industry, as well as being the most talk about artiste is a privilege.
The feuds have helped them to work harder and improve on their creative skills in breaking and creating various records, looking at the business side, it’s unfavourable to discontinue the feud.
Anyway, the rivalry has come to a point where it can’t stop again, the conversation has been embedded in history and will continue to be referenced.
