On Twitter, Wizkid continued his promotional campaign for his upcoming album, declaring himself the world’s biggest artist.
In a seeming jab at Davido and others, he confidently asserted his supremacy, dismissing critics as “pussy boys” who can’t handle his greatness.
“Biggest in da world!!
Headache for pussy boys!!
Morayo otw!”.

Wizkid claimed on Wednesday that he rejected a deal with Puma because the sports brand couldn’t meet his financial demands, boasting that his value surpasses that of any artist, and asserting he has no envy towards others, including Davido, who allegedly accepted a similar offer within Puma’s African budget.
Wizkid made further claims, comparing himself favorably to Davido in terms of music talent, fashion sense, and wealth, suggesting Davido’s success is largely due to his family’s fortune.
He also took aim at Davido’s followers, labeling them as financially struggling and implying their dependence on Davido, contrasting this with his own legal team’s independence and professionalism.
Wizkid continued his criticism, stating that Nigeria’s wealthy elite exploit poverty to control others, and accusing Davido of surrounding himself with impoverished individuals who rely on him for opportunities, fostering a culture of flattery and dishonesty.
He concluded by diminishing Davido’s status, saying he’s only prominent within his own household, and disputing Davido’s reputation as a top earner in the music industry.
