Afrobeat sensations Wizkid and Davido have once again made headlines, this time in connection with a highly publicized deal with global fashion brand Puma. In a heated social media exchange on Wednesday, Wizkid revealed why Puma selected Davido over him for the brand collaboration, sparking further debate in the ongoing rivalry between the two Nigerian superstars.The incident gained traction after an X (formerly Twitter) user, @Nelson Epega, suggested that Wizkid was envious of Davido's new partnership with Puma. According to Epega, Wizkid was showing signs of frustration over the deal, adding fuel to the online supremacy battle between the two artists' fan bases.Wizkid, however, was quick to address the accusations, responding in a viral post on X. He clarified that he had turned down Puma's offer because the brand was unable to meet his financial demands. According to Wizkid, the deal didn’t fall through due to jealousy or rivalry, but because the budget allocated for Africa wasn’t up to his standards."You idiot! I turned down Puma because they could no longer afford to pay me because I wanted more! Don’t need that! Way bigger than every artist you just mentioned! Not jealous! Love them all," Wizkid wrote in response.He went further to say, “No! Puma is a big brand! But the budget they had for Africa wasn’t for me! Was cool for your client tho!”
