Israel - Davido - Wizkid

Davido’s aide Israel DMW has fired back at Wizkid over his “001 of Nigerian music” claim, telling him to “drop gbedus” instead of talking.

The jab has reignited the rivalry between Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy on social media.

Israel DMW, the logistics manager of Nigerian music superstar Davido, has reacted to Wizkid’s recent declaration of being the number one artiste in Nigeria — a claim that has reignited the long-standing rivalry among Nigeria’s “Big 3.”

Wizkid, whose real name is Ayodeji Balogun, caused a social media storm after he boldly declared himself “001 of the Nigerian music industry” via an Instagram story post on Friday.

His statement immediately stirred controversy across Twitter (X), Instagram, and entertainment blogs, with fans debating who truly deserves the top spot between Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.

While many of Wizkid’s loyal fans, known as Wizkid FC, praised the singer’s confidence, others — particularly Davido’s 30BG crew — didn’t take it lightly.

Among those who fired back was Israel DMW, who left a sharp comment under a viral post about Wizkid’s statement.

“Na by mouth? Drop gbedus shit,” he wrote, implying that Wizkid should back his claim with hit songs instead of words.

The comment instantly went viral, sparking heated exchanges between Wizkid FC and 30BG supporters across social media.

Many fans interpreted Israel’s response as a reflection of Davido’s camp’s confidence in the singer’s global dominance, especially following his recent achievements such as headlining major festivals and earning Grammy nominations.

Meanwhile, Wizkid’s supporters maintained that the “Essence” crooner remains the most influential Nigerian artiste internationally, citing his streaming records and global collaborations.

As the online debate rages on, both camps — Wizkid FC and 30BG — continue to trend on X, with fans posting side-by-side comparisons of their faves’ awards, tours, and achievements.
