My biggest challenge is making Wizkid, Davido friends – DJ Tunez

 

DJ Tunez, known as Wizkid’s official DJ, recently opened up about a major challenge in his career. During a livestream on the platform X (formerly Twitter), he was asked to name the biggest difficulty he’s faced. His answer was unexpected yet revealing trying to make Wizkid and Davido become friends. In his own words, “My biggest challenge? Making Wizkid and Davido to love each other, that’s my biggest challenge.” Tunez’s confession sheds light on the ongoing tension between the two Afrobeats stars, who have had a long history of rivalry. The DJ did not go into too much detail about his efforts, but his words show how deep the divide remains. He also admitted that reconciling them and getting them to stay on good terms has been far from easy. This is not the first time someone close to both artists has tried to mend fences. DJ Tunez's role in the industry gives him access to both camps, which may be why he feels a personal responsibility to help resolve the issue.

Wizkid and Davido are two of the biggest names in Nigerian and global Afrobeats music. However, their relationship has been strained for years. Though they have occasionally shown signs of reconciliation, the rivalry often resurfaces. In October 2024, the feud reignited publicly when both artists traded insults on social media. This led to renewed concern among fans and industry stakeholders who believe the beef is holding back the full potential of Afrobeats. Figures like singer Iyanya and Davido’s manager Asa Asika have publicly called on both stars to settle their differences. They argue that a collaboration between the two would not only boost the genre globally but also send a powerful message of unity. Despite these calls, tensions remain high. DJ Tunez’s recent comments highlight how serious the issue still is behind the scenes. His statement has sparked new conversations online, with fans debating whether the two will ever truly reconcile. For now, the music world continues to hope that Wizkid and Davido can put their egos aside and come together not just for their careers, but for the growth and unity of Afrobeats as a movement.
