Wizkid Fans Roast Martell Ambassador Adesope Over DJ Tunez Beef
Una don hear the latest gist? The whole Naija music scene is buzzing as Wizkid supporters are dragging Martell’s own Adesope Olajide—now being called “AdeSoapy”—for throwing shade at DJ Tunez and, in their eyes, disrespecting the Baddo himself.
How the feud ignited
It all started when Davido and his go‑to turntablist DJ Ecool dropped some coded banter on Twitter. The tweets were vague, but the fans sensed a subtle jab at the Wizkid camp. Before anyone could cool down, DJ Tunez slipped into the thread, and the conversation blew up faster than a Lagos traffic jam.
Enter IsraelDMW, who took over the spat, labeling Tunez “immature” and accusing him of not respecting his “dwarf” (a reference to Davido’s crew). The claim was that Tunez was being used as a scapegoat— not in courts, not on Twitter— but in the court of public opinion.
Adesope doubles down
Yesterday, Adesope fired back, insisting Tunez had barged into a drama where his name never even appeared. The Martell ambassador accused the DJ of picking a needless fight with 30BG, a group that’s been vocal about Wizkid’s recent moves.
DJ Tunez wasn’t having it. He clapped back, calling Adesope a “Martell boy” and reminding everyone where his loyalty truly lies. The retort sparked a fresh wave of commentary from FC (the fan community), who argued that Adesope had clearly chosen a side—hence why he never calls out Davido’s threatening behaviour towards fans.
According to FC, the Martell partnership has shifted Adesope’s allegiance to 30BG, and luckily for Wizkid, the Baddo cut ties early before the drama could affect his brand.
Fans split: Wizkid vs Davido camps
Davido’s supporters aren’t buying the narrative. They claim the whole thing is pure jealousy from Wizkid’s camp, pointing out that neither Ecool nor Davido ever mentioned DJ Tunez. In their view, Tunez simply inserted himself and made the situation “wild”.
Meanwhile, the roots of the tension go deeper than a single tweet. Back in December 2023, while still publicly backing Wizkid, Adesope hosted a podcast where guests openly mocked the star. An event organiser even suggested Wizkid fell to peer pressure when he tried to sell‑out the 62,000‑seat Tottenham Stadium and fell short.
CNN reported that the concert sold roughly 45,000 tickets—far from a full sell‑out. Yet FC insisted the venue was sold out, and that disagreement became the spark that ignited the current beef.
What’s next for the drama?
With both camps firing off memes, hot takes, and endless threads, the saga shows no sign of cooling. The key question now is whether Adesope will stick with his Martell deal and the 30BG crew, or if he’ll try to mend fences with Wizkid’s loyalists.
For the average Naija music lover, the drama is a reminder of how quickly a single comment can turn into a nationwide showdown. As the Twitterverse continues to churn, keep your ears open—because in this industry, today’s “bant” can become tomorrow’s headline.
