    Iyanya clears the air on allegations of dumping Wizkid for Davido

    Afrobeats star Iyanya has addressed claims suggesting he has taken sides in the ongoing feud between two of Nigeria’s biggest music exports, Wizkid and Davido.

    The controversy reignited after an X user, @Akubasteeny, accused Iyanya of switching allegiance from Wizkid, with whom he previously collaborated on the hit song Sexy Mama, to Davido, following his recent public support for the DMW boss’s music.

    “I thought Wiz was your friend. I am just wondering why you switched side and turned into Davido’s boy,” the user wrote.

    In a swift response, Iyanya dismissed the insinuation, stating that he harbours no animosity toward any of his colleagues and remains a supporter of all Nigerian artists, regardless of fan-imposed divisions.

    “I don’t have an issue with any artiste. I played Wizkid’s Made in Lagos and Morayo, the same way I play every other artiste’s songs. Most artistes won’t say this, but we are the first to listen to other artistes’ projects when they drop. It’s part of our work to stay updated on the sound and the game” he wrote.

    Iyanya further highlighted his consistent support for other artists, referencing his habit of playing new music introduced to him by talent manager Ubi Franklin. He also mentioned that he still maintains a good relationship with Burna Boy, saying they recently partied together at a club.

    “I dey play all and I tell you, me no get enemy o. So make una stop this friend or no friend. Na una fans dey try dey push agenda wey no dey,” he added.

    Iyanya’s clarification comes amid heightened tensions between Wizkid and Davido, whose on-and-off feud has often spilt onto social media, drawing their fanbases into heated online debates.

  • Wizkid vs Davido: Iyanya roasted for spelling ‘Morayo’ as ‘Maroya’

    Wizkid vs Davido: Iyanya roasted for spelling ‘Morayo’ as ‘Maroya’

    Afrobeats singer Iyanya has faced another round of criticism after erroneously spelling ‘Morayo’ while addressing allegations that he has switched loyalty from Wizkid to Davido.

    The controversy stems from the longstanding tension between the two Afrobeats giants, which has seen fans of both camps engaging in fierce debates online.

    iyanya

    The backlash began after an X user accused Iyanya of abandoning his friendship with Wizkid to support Davido more openly. In response, the Sexy Mama crooner attempted to clear the air by emphasising that he supports all artists equally, naming several albums he claims to listen to regularly.

    However, while making his point, Iyanya mistakenly referred to Wizkid’s tribute album Morayo, named after the singer’s late mother, as “Maroya.”

    “I played Wizkid’s Made in Lagos and Maroya, the same way I play every other artiste songs,” he wrote, a typo that fans quickly latched onto.

    Social media was immediately awash with reactions, many of them mocking Iyanya’s error and questioning his sincerity.

    @Gwan_123 wrote, “Maroya 😭😂😂😂😂 you go just know say na on mute e play am.”

    Another X user @Rozaycharm_ added, “Shey you know say you don unknowingly drop new banter material for 30Bingos?😭.”

    @The_Good slammed, “Imagine you turn Big Wiz late lovely mum name Morayo to Maroya… you clearly know what you are doing, God go punish you.”

    Another user, @Dizmarviz, joked, “Maroya the greatest I ever made. Thank you @Iyanya, you just gave us new ingredients for this cooking… This week go long.”

    Iyanya eventually corrected the error by quoting the original post and spelling the album name correctly as Morayo. However, the backlash did not let up, with some fans continuing to drag him.

    Screenshot

    An X user, @Kellybonito_ jested, “No worry, we understand. Even me sef no dey remember that album name. The album too useless 🤣🤣.”

    @The_Good later followed up with, “Thanks for the correction and coming back to your senses, we forgive you… no artists way go fuck with Wiz way we FC nor fit put for he place ❤️.”

    Despite his efforts to calm the storm, Iyanya’s slip-up has further fueled fan tensions in the ever-persistent Wizkid vs. Davido rivalry saga.
