Afropop star Davido has cautioned nightlife entrepreneur Cubana Chief Priest against involving himself in the escalating online feud between Wizkid and Burna Boy, urging restraint as tensions continue to rise within Nigeria’s music industry.

The disagreement between Wizkid and Burna Boy reportedly intensified following an incident involving Wizkid’s official disc jockey, DJ Tunez, at a Lagos nightclub.

The situation escalated further after Burna Boy shared a viral video mocking the DJ, prompting Wizkid to respond with a series of personal remarks on social media.

Amid the growing controversy, Cubana Chief Priest joined the conversation online, making light of the exchange and referencing trending phrases from the feud, a move that appeared to draw Davido’s attention.
