    Ladipoe speaks on Wizkid, Davido’s feud

    Rapper Ladipoe has shared his thoughts on the ongoing rivalry between Afrobeats giants Wizkid and Davido in an interview with City 105.1FM. 

    He expressed skepticism about the genuineness of their feud, hinting that it might be a promotional tactic.

    Ladipoe said he admires both artists from afar, having met them briefly. 

    He said: “Honest truth, honestly, I have no idea. And why I say so is because this is not the first time that there has been something like this between these two juggernaut artistes y’know. So, who is to say? And I’m not personally close to either of them to be able to look behind the veil. I’ve been somebody that has gotten to admire them from afar. I’ve definitely shaken Wizkid’s hand a couple of times. I’ve shaken David’s hand a couple of times. And in both ways, I respect them.

    “You know what I feel? I fall in the fanbase that feels that they are just too savvy and business minded to not one day say “pull up, Davido and Wizkid concert or Wizkid and Davido concert”. I just feel like una dey whine me. That’s my own personal feeling: una dey whine me. They are too big to not see the business opportunity in front of them. So, that’s my take. But whether it’s real or not, who is to say?

    “Beef for promoting stuff is an old tactic. It’s effective. I don’t love it personally, but it’s tried and tested, and it works. It’s not my preferred strategy, but it works.”
