An old interview of Nigerian superstar Davido has resurfaced online, reigniting conversations amid the ongoing feud between Burna Boy and DJ Tunez.
The viral clip, originally from a past interview, captures Davido reflecting on the long-standing rivalry among Nigeria’s top Afrobeats stars. In the interview, he expressed frustration over how he is often portrayed whenever conflicts arise between him and his colleagues.
According to Davido, he is frequently cast as the “bad guy” whenever tensions escalate, even when he insists he has no personal issues with the other artists. He emphasized that he sees his peers as brothers and questioned why he would deliberately engage in conflict with them.
Drama Behind the Resurgence
The resurfacing of the interview comes at a time when Burna Boy and DJ Tunez are trending over an alleged nightclub clash in Lagos, which reportedly involved members of Burna Boy’s entourage.
Videos from the incident circulated online, sparking widespread reactions and debates among fans, with many taking sides. The situation quickly escalated into a broader industry conversation, pulling in other major figures in the Afrobeats scene.
Davido’s Perspective on Industry Rivalry
In the interview, Davido also addressed rumors of rivalry among the “big three” (himself, Burna Boy, and Wizkid), stating that he harbors no intention of fighting anyone. He maintained that any narrative suggesting coordinated conflict against him is unfounded, stressing that he remains focused on his own path.
