Wizkid and Davido face-off: ‘People should know music is competitive’- Wande Coal

On-time Mo Hits Records signee and Black Diamond CEO, Wande Coal, has called on fans not to heighten the already heated up relationship between Wizkid and Davido- two artists who were greatly inspired by him.

Speaking recently in an interview, Wande Coal, who is both known as a musician and a mentor to a number of new breed artists, remarked that fans should realise that music is competitive.

Though he claims to have a closer relationship with Wizkid, he noted that both artists have a bright future ahead of them and the lingering beef between the two doesn’t mean both acts are not cool with each other.

“I have influenced the music of both Wizkid and Davido, but the person with whom I went through a lot with and greatly influenced is Wizkid. I don’t think anybody should blame Wizkid for whatever action he takes.

“I know Wizkid very well and I know that he learns from everything. He is a great kid and I love him a lot. He is my brother and that is why he calls my name in his songs. We bonded.

“With Davido, I feel he is a good artiste. In the game called music, there would always be friction, but it does not mean that they are not cool with each other. People need to know that music is competitive”. He said.
