In a developing twist within Nigeria’s entertainment scene, Wizkid’s associate and online personality, Tufab, has taken to social media to defend himself against allegations of being toxic towards Afrobeats superstar Davido. The drama escalated after Tufab claimed he received threats from Davido’s camp over supposed “shade” or disrespectful comments made online.
Tufab, known for his strong online presence and support for Wizkid, stated emphatically that he has never crossed the line or shown toxicity toward Davido. “I don’t move with hate. I joke, I gist, but I’ve never been toxic to Davido,” he said during a now-viral Instagram live session. He emphasized that his comments have always been within the limits of entertainment banter.
In the same session, Tufab presented what he described as “receipts”—screenshots and messages that, according to him, clear his name and show that he never incited hate or engaged in online bullying targeted at Davido. The move appears to be in response to fan accusations and rising tension among stan groups of the two biggest names in Nigerian music: Wizkid FC and 30BG.
Tufab also noted that any narrative painting him as an instigator is driven by overzealous fans who misinterpret online sarcasm and banter as malicious intent. He stressed that he respects Davido’s music and legacy, even if he sides more with Wizkid’s style and approach to fame.
The tension between both camps has been brewing for years, with social media often serving as a battlefield. While both Wizkid and Davido have had moments of public reconciliation, their fanbases remain bitter rivals. Tufab’s recent statements have only added fuel to the fire, especially now that personal safety and alleged threats are being mentioned.
“I dey protect myself with truth,” Tufab said in pidgin, adding that he’s not scared but won’t ignore threats or intimidation. He warned that if anything happens to him, Nigerians should know where to look, indirectly pointing fingers without naming names.
Reactions from fans have been divided. While some praised Tufab for addressing the situation calmly and providing proof, others accused him of seeking clout. “You no toxic but you always dey jab Davido with style,” one user commented under the video. Another wrote, “At least this guy talk his mind and no hide.”
As of now, Davido has not publicly responded to the accusations or the release of the receipts. However, industry watchers believe the silence may be strategic, as both artists are currently focused on their respective international tours and endorsements.
This controversy underscores the intensity of Nigeria’s celebrity fandoms and the thin line between harmless commentary and online beef. Whether or not this escalates into another major celebrity fallout or fizzles out will depend on how both camps handle the days ahead.
