The Nigerian music industry was sent into a frenzy today after an unexpected collaboration between longtime rivals Davido and Wizkid surfaced online, fueling speculation about a possible end to their well-documented feud. A 30-second snippet of the unreleased track, which appears to blend Davido’s signature afrobeats style with Wizkid’s smooth melodic flow, began circulating across social media platforms early this morning and has since amassed over 2 million combined views.
Industry insiders confirmed the authenticity of the recording, though neither artist has officially commented on the leak. Fans noted the track’s lyrics contain apparent references to putting past differences aside, with one particularly telling line from Wizkid: “Time to leave the past where it belongs.” The leak comes just weeks after both superstars were spotted at the same private Lagos nightclub, though they were not seen interacting at the time.
Music critics have already begun praising the potential hit, with entertainment blogger Tunde Olaoye describing it as “a masterclass in afrobeats fusion that could redefine the genre’s landscape.” The timing has raised eyebrows, coming just before the peak of summer festival season when both artists typically release major singles.
Neither OBO Entertainment nor Starboy Records have responded to requests for clarification about whether this signals an official end to the decade-long rivalry that has divided Nigerian music fans. However, social media reactions suggest overwhelming public support for the unexpected pairing, with #DavidoWizkidCollab trending at number one on Nigerian Twitter for most of the afternoon.
As anticipation builds, industry watchers are speculating whether this leak was intentional marketing ahead of an official release, or if the artists will address the situation directly. What remains clear is that Nigerian music fans may be witnessing the most significant reconciliation in the country’s entertainment history.
