  • Davido’s Surprise Moment Sparks Buzz as He’s Caught Vibing to Wizkid’s Song

    Davido has stirred reactions online after a viral clip showed him singing a song by Wizkid and Asake during a recent visit to Osun State.

    The Afrobeats star was spotted arriving in a convoy alongside his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, ahead of the state’s 2026 governorship election.

    Caught off-guard, but fully vibing

    In the now-trending video, the singer appeared relaxed and unaware of being filmed as he sang along to “Jogodo,” one of the standout tracks from Wizkid and Asake’s joint EP.

    He could be heard delivering the line, “Celebrity life e no easy,” while riding in the convoy.

    The moment quickly caught attention online, especially given the long-standing rivalry often associated with fanbases of both artistes.

    Song behind the viral moment

    “Jogodo” is part of the four-track project titled “REAL, Vol. 1,” released by Wizkid and Asake in January 2026.

    Other songs on the EP include “Turbulence,” “Iskolodo,” and “Alaye,” all of which have gained traction among fans.

    Mixed reactions trail viral clip

    The video triggered a wave of reactions across social media, with many users praising Davido’s personality and openness.

    Some described him as “real” and easygoing, while others pointed to the irony of him publicly enjoying a song from a perceived industry rival.

    Despite the divided opinions, the moment has added to ongoing conversations about relationships among Nigeria’s top artistes.

    Beyond rivalry, music still connects

    The clip has also reignited discussions around the long-running Wizkid-Davido fan rivalry, often amplified online.

    However, the moment reflects a different narrative, one where artistes themselves appear less invested in tension than their supporters.

    For many observers, the viral scene reinforces Davido’s reputation as a relatable figure who openly appreciates good music, regardless of where it comes from.

  • Davido Speaks on Retirement Fears, Proposes Therapy Centre for Ex-Stars
