In a surprising turn of events, some fans of popular Nigerian singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, have reportedly visited the childhood home of his counterpart Adedeji Balogun, better known as Wizkid, in Surulere, Lagos. The visit appears to be a retaliation following the recent online clash between the two music stars and their respective fan bases.
Reactions on the Nairaland social platform have been mixed, with some users expressing disapproval of the fans’ actions. Nairalander @Muyico commented, “Some Nigerian, eh? Truly lazy Nigerian youths.”
Another user, @Brain54, echoed a similar sentiment, stating, “How I wish these lazy youths… can channel this same effort to monitor government policies and troll politicians!”
However, not all reactions were critical. @illicit defended Wizkid, writing, “Jesus was born in a manger… BigWiz Starboy for life.”
@Humberjade, who claimed to be a fan of good music regardless of the artist, praised self-made billionaires and “grass to grace” stories, stating, “Personally, I applaud and rate self-made billionaires over those who stood on the shoulders of family to reach great heights.”
Responding to @Muyico, @Onome25 suggested that Davido fans should visit the childhood homes of political figures such as Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu or President Muhammadu Buhari instead.
The incident has sparked a larger discussion about the priorities and behavior of Nigerian youths, with some users expressing disappointment in the perceived “senseless and useless” activities they engage in, particularly when it comes to supporting celebrities.
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen whether this incident will lead to further escalation or a cooling of tensions between the two music stars and their respective fan bases.
