Singer T‑Dot has entered the ongoing social‑media dispute involving Nigerian artists Davido, Wizkid and DJ Tunez, further intensifying the online clash.
The controversy began when DJ Tunez reposted a photo of Wizkid wearing a matching gym outfit and captioned it “Original, no be fake.” Many observers interpreted the post as a jab at Davido, who had recently shared a similar photo. Davido responded by mocking Tunez on Twitter, referring to the DJ’s earlier physical altercation with Burna Boy in which Tunez was knocked to the ground.
In a series of tweets, Davido called Tunez “a disgusting nasty fellow” and wrote, “E wa woo! Look he’s on the floor,” suggesting the DJ had been humiliated. The rapper also hinted that Tunez’s reputation was dependent on Davido’s own status, stating that “you’re just a daddy’s boy… protected by your father’s wealth and security.”
T‑Dot, a Ghanaian singer known for his outspoken presence on social platforms, defended Tunez. The artist argued that Tunez was not defeated in the encounter with Burna Boy, emphasizing that the DJ faced “1 vs 10” and had “punched your besty right in the mouth when he saw they meant him harm.” T‑Dot further claimed that such actions demonstrated courage, adding that Davido “never stood anywhere on this earth ten toes down without your dad’s money, security, and your boys.”
Davido replied, rejecting the implication that his success relies on his father’s resources. He wrote, “Your daddy is the only thing you know… why your papa not hustle… shut up and slide for Tunez,” and added, “Na frustration you see inherit from your papa e reach to dey vex.”
The exchange reflects a broader pattern of rivalry among top Nigerian and Ghanaian musicians, often played out on Twitter and Instagram. DJ Tunez, who has worked extensively with both Wizkid and Davido, has previously been involved in publicized disputes, including the physical scuffle with Burna Boy last month.
Industry observers note that such public spats can affect brand partnerships and streaming numbers, as fans mobilize on social media to support their preferred artists. While no legal action has been reported, the feud underscores the volatile nature of celebrity interactions in the West African music scene.
The situation remains fluid, with each party likely to continue leveraging their online platforms to shape public perception. Media outlets will monitor further statements from the artists and any potential impact on upcoming releases or collaborations.
