Afrobeats artist Iyanya has addressed allegations of taking sides in the ongoing rivalry between his fellow musicians, Wizkid and Davido.
Reports state that the longstanding feud between Wizkid and Davido flared up again last year, leading to heated exchanges on social media.
Iyanya, who previously collaborated with Wizkid on the popular track “Sexy Mama,” has recently faced criticism for allegedly siding with Davido after openly expressing his support for Davido’s 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.”
Reacting, Iyanya explained that he doesn’t have issues with any of their colleagues, stressing that he supports Wizkid the same way he supports other artists.
He accused the fans of pitting artists against each other.
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.
“Fireboy ‘Adedamola’ album, Joeboy ‘Viva Lavida’ album, I Dey play all and I tell you me no get enemy o. So make una stop this friend or no friend. Me and Burna still see for club 3 weeks ago and we vibe well.
