Rich folks have weaponised poverty to make poor worship them – Wizkid

Afrobeats singer, Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has claimed that Nigeria’s rich people have weaponised poverty in the country to make the poor “worship” them.

He made the claim while dragging his colleague Davido on social media on Wednesday.

The ‘More Love, Less Ego’ crooner, who began dragging Davido on Tuesday night, resumed trolling the DMW boss on Wednesday.

He claimed that he was richer and more successful than Davido despite the ‘Omo Baba Olowo’ hitmaker’s wealthy background.

Describing Davido as a “spoilt rich kid”, Wizkid further claimed that the ‘Unavailable’ crooner is “cheap”, and charges less than most of their colleagues in the music industry.

On his X handle, he wrote, “First off, you’re not as fly as me, can’t sing or make music like me, you can’t dress, you don’t make more money than me, you don’t even got shoes like me. You don’t know yourself. You’re cheap, you pull up for less than we do! Now f*ck off you spoilt Rich child! That’s all u are ! F*ck u and your dad’s money we got ours! Every n*gga around u broke! Your dumb *ss lawyer flies with you everywhere dressed like Basketmouth lol , our lawyers are too busy for dat sh*t! You kids!”

In another tweet, Wizkid countered Davido’s self-imposed title as the “001” of the Nigerian music industry, saying he surrounded himself with poor people to worship him because rich people have weaponised poverty in Nigeria.

“Naija is a place the rich weaponize poverty so you carry all these broke boys in real life and get dem visa so they worship u and not tell u abt yourself. Call you 001 you delusional fuck aye you idiot! The only time you’re 001 is when you’re in your house. You’re not 001 of nothing but Instagram followers!

“You don’t make more money than anybody in Nigeria in music! Cheap guy! Everything about you screams cheap,” he wrote.
