Nigerian rapper Olamide has weighed in on the ongoing tension between Wizkid and Davido, urging fans and fellow artists to focus on self-improvement rather than competing for wealth or fame.
In a recent statement, Olamide remarked, "The money competition makes no sense, the goal is to be better than the person you were yesterday."
The singer emphasized that striving to be a better version of oneself is more meaningful than comparing material success like money, cars, or private jets.
“Every day I only try to be a better person. Competing with others makes no sense. Your only competition should be yourself. Money, cars, or jets—no one is leaving this world with it. Spread love,” Olamide said, promoting a message of positivity and growth.
Olamide's comments come just 24 hours after Wizkid sparked controversy by calling Davido's music "wack" in a social media post, reigniting a longstanding rivalry between the two Afrobeats giants.
While Wizkid’s comments have set social media abuzz, Davido has yet to respond to the insult, leaving fans wondering whether he will address the jab or ignore it altogether.
Olamide’s remarks, however, seem to be aimed at cooling down the competitive nature of the industry, encouraging artists to prioritize personal development and love over public feuds.
His message resonates at a time when fanbases are often divided by celebrity rivalries, and the focus on material success dominates much of the music industry discourse.
As the situation between Wizkid and Davido continues to unfold, Olamide’s stance may offer a much-needed perspective on the importance of self-reflection and unity in an increasingly competitive space.
