Davido Addresses Relationship with Burna Boy and Wizkid, Dismisses Collaboration Speculations

 Renowned Afrobeats artist David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, recently shed light on his relationship with fellow Nigerian music stars Burna Boy and Wizkid. During an appearance on the American show Sway’s Universe, Davido revealed that he does not maintain communication with the duo.

​

When host Sway inquired about the nature of his interactions with Burna Boy and Wizkid, Davido responded with a simple negative, indicating a lack of ongoing communication. This revelation comes amid persistent rumors and fan speculation regarding potential collaborations among the three artists, who are often regarded as the leading figures in the Afrobeats genre.

Davido also addressed the frequent comparisons drawn between himself, Burna Boy, and Wizkid. Contrary to the popular narrative that positions the trio as the foremost Afrobeats artists globally, Davido asserted his individual prominence in the industry. He emphasized his unique contributions and impact, suggesting that such comparisons are unnecessary and do not accurately reflect the distinct paths each artist has taken.​

Despite the lack of regular communication, Davido acknowledged that both Burna Boy and Wizkid reached out to him during a personal tragedy—the loss of his son, Ifeanyi, in a swimming pool accident. Their gestures of support during that period were appreciated, highlighting a sense of solidarity that transcends public perceptions of rivalry.​

This candid disclosure offers fans a clearer understanding of the dynamics between these prominent artists. While collaborations may not be forthcoming, it is evident that mutual respect exists, even if their interactions are limited. Davido’s focus remains on his individual artistry and continuing to make significant strides in the global music scene.
