David Adeleke popularly known as Davido has drawn the ire of Damini Ogulu aka Burna Boy over his claim that he {Davido } and Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun known as Wizkid are the biggest in the African music industry.

Omo Baba Olowo as Davido is fondly called by his teeming fans earlier today took to his Social Media page to describe himself and Wizkid as the two greatest of them all

This seemingly did not go down well with Burna Boy who in a now-deleted post aimed a salvo at Davido by describing Davido’s achievement as a product of his father’s wealth.

“You cannot play football, everybody knows you cannot play football and you are an embarrassment to the team but your daddy bought the football team,” he wrote in a post many said is aimed at Davido.

Though he did not mention anyone’s name, music fans were quick to bring the matter to Twitter and call the singer out.

Many alleged he only shared the post after seeing what Davido said.

One annoyed fan took to Twitter to chide the singer saying “Burna Boy subbing Davido about his father’s money is the same as him sampling Fela up and down. If he wants to test his mettle. Let him organize a free show and let Davido organize a show and charge a N2000 gate fee. We all know who’s gonna sell out despite the handicap. Who is Burna again?” he wrote.

Recall that Davido and Wizkid have both been in an age-long rivalry until recently when the two popular artistes appeared to be in a new found love.
