Afrobeats singer Iyanya has addressed claims that he’s taken sides in the ongoing rift between fellow artists Wizkid and Davido.
The long-standing tension between the two music heavyweights resurfaced last year, marked by a series of heated exchanges on social media.
Iyanya, who previously teamed up with Wizkid on the hit song Sexy Mama, has recently faced criticism for appearing to align with Davido, particularly after publicly endorsing his music.
On Wednesday, an X user @Akubasteeny made the accusation again when he wrote under a post by the singer, “I thought Wiz was your friend. I am just wondering why you switched side and turn into Davido’s boy.”
In response, Iyanya clarified that he harbors no ill will toward any of his peers. He emphasized that he shows equal support to both Wizkid and other artists in the industry.
He went on to blame fan culture for creating unnecessary conflict by fueling division among musicians.
He wrote, “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 will not say this, artistes are the first to listen to other artistes projects when they drop. Na our work to know what’s happening in the game in terms of sound etc.
“I was playing Fola’s songs before he had a big song that’s cos @ubifranklin1 loves listening to a lot of new artists and he will always introduce me to their sound.
