Popular Nigerian blogger, Linda Ikeji, has weighed in on the long-standing debate between two of Nigeria’s top music stars, Wizkid and Davido — and her choice was clear.
During a recent interview with Pulse, Ikeji was asked to pick between the two Afrobeats heavyweights. Without much hesitation, she chose Davido, stating that he is “by far” the better musician.
When asked, “Wizkid or Davido?” she confidently responded, “Davido by far.”
Her choice didn’t surprise many fans, especially considering her rocky history with Wizkid. Their public fallout dates back to 2016, when Linda published a story claiming that Wizkid had received an eviction notice from his Lekki home. The post sparked a heated reaction from Wizkid, who lashed out at the blogger online and even threatened to send his teenage cousin after her.
The situation escalated for months, drawing attention on social media and prompting police intervention. Although attempts were made to reconcile them, Linda Ikeji and Wizkid have remained distant, and the tension appears unresolved to this day.
Given that background, her preference for Davido may reflect both personal and professional opinions — and it’s now sparked renewed conversations among fans of both artists.
