Davido on Wizkid and Burna Boy: Afrobeats star reveals evolving relationships and why the “Big 3” narrative no longer defines the genre

 

[dropcap]I[/dropcap]n a candid new interview, Nigerian music sensation David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has offered rare insight into his current relationship with fellow Afrobeats stars Wizkid and Burna Boy.

Speaking on the renowned US radio show The Breakfast Club, the Fem hitmaker confirmed that while he once shared a close personal bond with both artistes, that chapter has closed.

“I don’t have a personal relationship with them [Wizkid and Burna Boy]. I did at some point in time,” Davido said, addressing long-standing rumours about tension among the trio.

His remarks signal a shift in the Afrobeats landscape, where Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy—often dubbed the “Big 3”—once dominated public discourse. However, Davido was quick to emphasise that the genre has since grown far beyond their individual influence.

“The conversation is bigger than the ‘Big 3’ right now,” he continued. “There’s Rema, there’s Ayra Starr and other artists. Right now, I think the three of us understand that it is bigger than us.”

This reflection highlights a broader maturation within the Afrobeats community, as newer stars rise to global prominence and redefine the genre’s reach.

In addition to speaking on his peers, Davido also addressed his rumoured fallout with fellow Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage. Shutting down suggestions of a serious feud, he likened their disagreement to a sibling quarrel.

“Tiwa Savage is my sister for life. I love her and her child, we are family,” he said. “Our fight is just like a brother and sister’s fight. I will never allow anything to happen to her.”

Davido’s comments come amidst growing anticipation for his upcoming album 5ive and public interest in his wedding plans with longtime partner, Chioma Rowland.

As Afrobeats continues its explosive global expansion, Davido’s reflections provide a glimpse into the evolving dynamics behind the scenes—and a clear message that the genre’s future lies in unity and growth beyond past rivalries.
