A fresh wave of online drama erupted on Thursday after Jubril Gawat, the Senior Special Assistant on New Media to Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, publicly praised Wizkid—a move that quickly drew a reaction from Davido.

Governor’s Aide Declares Support for Wizkid

The controversy began when Gawat shared a promotional poster for Wizkid’s December 28 concert at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS).

Captioning the image, he wrote “Ọmọ wa ni” (“He is our son”), signalling admiration for the Grammy-winning star.

Fans immediately joined the conversation. One user declared:

“Wizkid is the face of Lagos. Baba Bolu always promotes Lagos.”

Gawat agreed, replying:

“Yes correct. We are proud of him.”

Another fan then asked:
“Ore oga nko?”—a subtle reference to Davido.

Gawat responded:
“My Oga is proud of him.”

Davido Responds Directly

Davido soon jumped into the thread, clearly irritated by the aide’s comments.

He wrote:

“Bro, it’s been a year, let it go… why is it still doing you… grow up.”

He then referenced an older tweet where Gawat had described him differently, adding:

“Since yesterday… let it go nah… cheer up.”

Online Buzz Intensifies

The exchange quickly spread across social media, with fans from both camps reigniting debate about the long-standing rivalry between the two Afrobeats giants.

Screenshots of the conversation have since gone viral as the discussion continues to gather attention.
