Wizkid-Davido-PopAfrica
There is no doubt that the Nigerian Entertainment Industry has come a long way from what it used to be. With particular focus on the music industry, we cannot help but observe the tremendous growth that has taken place over the years as Nigerian music and artistes are now seen as heavy weight forces to be reckoned with in Africa and even overseas. Nigerian songs now rank on international charts with a good example being, 2Face’s sixth studio album, “The Ascension” being ranked on American music magazine, Billboard Magazine as the 12th selling album in the world as at the time of writing this article.

Two of the biggest names in the music industry are Wizkid and Davido. Both young and extremely talented, these artistes draw their fan base mainly from the youths and have been pitched against each other both by the media and their fans as to who is better. They have had everything from their songs, awards, shows, ambassadorship deals and even girlfriends compared against each other just to see who is the superior and bigger artiste. For a long time now the war has continued to rage and even more recently we had the twitter beef that occurred between the two acts making fans realize that they shouldn’t be expecting a Wizkid and Davido collaboration anytime soon.



Born Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, Wizkid is one Nigerian artiste that his grass to grace story has not continued to delight the heart of many as his combination of hard work and talent has made him a household name across the globe. His rise to fame began with his hit song ‘Holla At Your Boy’ but Wizkid has since gone on to produce chart topping songs that has kept many a fan crooning or grooving to his songs. He has clinched many national and international awards in his career including Promising Artiste of the Year (Dynamix all Youth Awards 2009), Next Rated (The Headies 2011), Best African Act (MOBO 2011), Best Artist in the Africa/India/Middle East Region (MTV Eurpoe Music Award 2011), Artiste of the Year (The Headies 2012), African Artiste of the Year (Ghana Music Awards 2013) alongside others.

Davido or Omo Baba Olowo as he is fondly called by his fans on the other hand is the son of a billionaire father, Chief Deji Adeleke. Born in Atlanta, Georgia and christened David Adedeji Adeleke, he relocated to Lagos at a young age. His courtship with stardom came with the success of his single “Dami Duro” and there has been no stopping the young star ever since. He has won a BET Award, a Kora Award, a Channel O Music Video Award, a Ghana Music Award, a Nigeria Music Video Award, two MTV Africa Music Awards, two African Muzik Magazine Awards, three Headies Award, four Nigeria Entertainment Awards (NEA), and two Dynamix All Youth Awards, among others.

One may begin to wonder that with such successful careers just some few years down the line in music industry, how can one crown the bigger artiste of these two entertainers. After all when we talk awards wise for instance, they both have almost the same number with one BET to their names, one Channel O Music Video Award, one Ghana Music Awards, two Dynamix All Youth Awards, and three Headies each. Although Davido has four NEAs, Wizkid is at his heels with three NEAs to his name. Wizkid easily makes up for this fall behind with a MOBO award and two City People Entertainment awards while Davido is not be outdone with two MTV Music Africa Awards. In this light therefore, it is hard to say who is bigger.

The comparison has gone on to include their lifestyles with blogs and magazine comparing their love lives in terms of who has the prettier or sexier girlfriend. Not left out is their.....
