Kidney Transplant Plea Ignites Social Media War Between Wizkid and Davido Fans
In Nigeria, a plea for help for a kidney transplant has unexpectedly sparked a social media firestorm. Barbecue, a known critic of musician Davido and ardent supporter of Wizkid, found herself in a difficult situation when her sister required urgent medical attention. Needing ₦7 million for a kidney transplant, she turned to social media and, surprisingly, tagged Davido, who she’d previously insulted. The move ignited a fierce debate on social media between fans of both artists. "He retweeted an old tweet from 2024 where he said ‘everyone that him bad will collect one by one’," said Afunugo TV, who posted the video. Davido's subsequent tweets, while not directly addressing Barbecue, were interpreted by many as a response to her request. The situation has prompted discussions about the responsibilities of celebrities towards their fans and the ethics of online interactions. Despite the initial tension, Barbecue later apologized to Davido and asked for help for her sister. The story highlights the complexities of celebrity culture and the power of social media in both creating and resolving conflicts.
