Davido’s logistics manager, Israel DMW, has taken a swipe at Wizkid following the singer’s recent claim of being the “001” of the Nigerian music industry.

Wizkid had stirred controversy after declaring himself the number one Afrobeat artiste on his Instagram story, reigniting the long-standing rivalry among top stars — Davido, Burna Boy, and Wizkid.

The supremacy debate intensified after Tiwa Savage publicly weighed in, describing Davido as ‘001’ and Burna Boy as ‘002’, a remark that quickly went viral.

In reaction to Wizkid’s post, Israel DMW mocked the singer in the comment section of a trending post, questioning his recent musical impact.

“Na by mouth? Drop gbedus joor,” Israel wrote, implying that Wizkid should back his claim with new hit songs rather than words.

The exchange has further fueled discussions among fans over who truly holds the Afrobeat crown in Nigeria’s dynamic music scene.
