My Uncle Doesn’t Dance Online – Wizkid Mocks Gov. Adeleke Over Fued With Davido
●As Netizens Condemn Singer Over Post
The long-standing feud between Nigerian music giants Wizkid and Davido has taken a new turn, with Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, becoming the latest target in the ongoing saga.
Wizkid, in a series of tweets on Tuesday, mocked Governor Adeleke, fondly known as the ‘dancing governor,’ for his viral dance videos.
Adeleke, Davido’s uncle, is famous for his energetic dance moves, which he often showcases in public events and has endeared him to many Nigerians.
However, Wizkid seized the opportunity to ridicule both the governor and his nephew in the process.
“When you see people wey dem papa and family train you go know! You don’t see my uncle dancing online,” Wizkid tweeted in Pidgin English.

Meanwhile, Osun Defender recalls that in May, a fight ensued between Davido and Wizkid on X after the ‘Ojuelegba’ hitmaker mocked him and Don Jazzy, the Mavin Records head honcho.
Wizkid referred to Don Jazzy as an “influencer” while taunting Davido with a video of him on his knees, pleading and crying after a fan asked him to release new music.
The singer’s posts attracted criticism from a segment of social media users, including celebrities.
Davido also retaliated, labeling Wizkid’s career as “dead”.
