Wizkid vs Davido: How a Martell Ambassador Became ‘AdeSoapy’ in the Latest Music Beef

Imagine scrolling through your TL on a lazy Saturday morning and seeing a storm of names – Wizkid, Davido, DJ Tunez, 30BG, and a certain Adesope Olajide – all tangled in a drama that feels like a Nollywood thriller. That’s the vibe on Nigerian socials right now as fans of the two biggest Afrobeats kings clash over loyalty, respect, and a busted claim of a “sell‑out” at Tottenham.

How the feud ignited

It all started when Davido and his sidekick DJ Ecool dropped some coded bants on Twitter, sparking a low‑key back‑and‑forth that quickly caught the eye of DJ Tunez. Instead of staying on the sidelines, Tunez jumped in, and the conversation blew up into a full‑blown argument. IsraelDMW, another social media voice, swooped in and labeled Tunez “immature,” saying he wasn’t respecting his “dwarf” (a jab at Davido) while everyone else was showing respect for David (Davido). IsraelDMW warned that Tunez would become a scapegoat – not in courts, not on Twitter, but somewhere else.

Adesope’s double‑down and DJ Tunez’s retort

Yesterday, the Martell ambassador Adesope Olajide – popularly known as AdeSoapy after fans started calling him that – doubled down on his stance. He blamed Tunez for stirring trouble in a debate where his name never even came up. Tunez fired back, calling Adesope a “Martell boy” and reminding everyone where his loyalty truly lies.

Enter FC (the fan club), who jumped into the fray, accusing Adesope of picking sides. According to FC, he never calls out Davido’s “threatening fans” behaviour, but suddenly he’s quick to point fingers at Tunez. The claim? Because of his brand deal with Martell, Adesope’s loyalty has shifted to 30BG (the label tied to Davido), and luckily Wizkid “clocked him early” and cut ties.

Fans choose sides: Wizkid vs Davido

Davido’s camp isn’t staying silent. Their supporters argue that the whole thing is just jealousy from Wizkid’s crew, insisting that neither Ecool nor Davido ever mentioned Tunez – he just inserted himself and turned a simple banter into a massive drama. On the flip side, Wizkid fans feel betrayed. They recall that back in December 2023, while Adesope was still publicly backing Wizkid, he hosted a podcast where guests mocked the star. An event organizer even claimed Wizkid fell to peer pressure after his attempt to sell out Tottenham’s 62,000‑seat arena fell short.

When the numbers came out, CNN reported that only about 45,000 tickets were sold – far from a full house. Yet FC insisted the venue was “sold out,” sparking the original beef that now fuels today’s Twitter wars.

The Tottenham saga that started it all

The Tottenham debacle still haunts the conversation. Wizkid’s team had aimed for a historic sell‑out, but the stadium’s capacity far exceeded the actual sales. Fans felt the sting of a half‑filled arena, and Adesope’s lack of defence made many think he had switched loyalties. That’s why the nickname “AdeSoapy” stuck – a playful jab at his perceived “slippery” stance.

Since then, every time a new controversy pops up, both camps dig up the Tottenham episode, using it as ammunition to question each other’s credibility. It’s a classic case of “once a fire, always a fire” in the Nigerian music scene.

What’s next? The road ahead for the stars and the ambassador

At the moment, the Twitterverse is buzzing with memes, hot takes, and endless “who’s right?” threads. DJ Tunez seems unfazed, continuing to drop beats while keeping his eyes on the studio. Adesope, meanwhile, might have to choose between his brand partnership and the loyalty of Wizkid’s legion. As for Davido and Wizkid, fans hope the rivalry stays lyrical and doesn’t spill into real‑world violence.

One thing’s for sure – Nigerian social media will keep this saga alive until the next big drop, and every new twist will be dissected over jollof, suya, and endless cups of tea.
