Former Nigerian senator, Dino Melaye, also known as SDM, has waded into the ongoing feud between Afrobeats sensations, Davido and Wizkid, asserting his stance on the matter.
Melaye, a prominent member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), made headlines with his bold declaration that Davido holds the mantle as the leader of the Nigerian music industry.
Amidst the heated exchanges between Davido and Wizkid, Melaye took to his social media platform on Wednesday, May 1, 2024, to voice his opinion. In a tweet, he unequivocally proclaimed Davido as the foremost figure in the industry, citing his global commercial success and widespread patronage.
Melaye’s assertion adds fuel to the ongoing debate surrounding the rivalry between Davido and Wizkid, which has captured the attention of fans and industry insiders alike. His statement follows closely on the heels of similar endorsements from other public figures, including Bashir Ahmad, an aide to former President Muhammadu Buhari, who expressed support for Wizkid.
As the discourse surrounding the Davido-Wizkid feud continues to intensify, Melaye’s outspoken endorsement of Davido as the industry leader further fuels speculation and discussion within the Nigerian music community.
Davido is UNDOUBTEDLY the 001 in the Nigerian music industry and UNDEBATEABLY the most patronised globally. SDM
