BIG WIZ LAWYER

[chart radar @chartradar_]

Davido has been exposed by his friend for stream farming

According to his friend: “Davido is paying $4K every week to stay at #1 on the Apple Music and Spotify Nigeria.”

His newly released album “Oriade” left Nigerian Apple Music top 30 24 hours after its release and Spotify has deducted his streams multiple times.

If the question is why you would choose Wizkid over Davido in a debate, the strongest case is not that one man is louder or more present. It is that Wizkid changed what Afrobeats could look like once it left the party and entered the world.

Wizkid’s career is built on firsts that actually shifted the map. One Dance with Drake did not merely feature an African voice on a hit; it reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and entered the record books as proof that the sound could sit at the centre of global pop. Years later, Essence became the first Nigerian song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, and the Justin Bieber remix carried it into the Top 10. Those are not fan talking points. They are the moments after which Western radio, playlists, and award shows had to treat Afrobeats as more than a seasonal flavour.

The same pattern shows up in the quieter metric that debates often dodge: people actually listening. Wizkid became the first African artist to surpass 10 billion Spotify streams, then crossed 11 billion. That kind of catalogue depth is hard to dismiss as hype. It suggests a body of work that keeps circulating long after the initial campaign ends. Made in Lagos did what few African albums manage: it felt local and still travelled. Essence in particular did not need to shout to become a standard. It just settled into people’s lives.

Awards follow that path more than they create it. Wizkid sits at the top of recent lists of Africa’s most decorated artists and holds a Grammy for his work on Beyoncé’s Brown Skin Girl. He has also collected the kind of Anglo-American hardware that once seemed closed to the genre: Billboard, BET, MOBO, Brit recognition for UK streaming scale, a sold-out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium date later turned into an HBO documentary. The point is not the glass on the shelf. It is that his version of the music kept being invited into rooms that used to treat African pop as novelty.

What makes the argument sharper is style. Wizkid’s public image has always been slightly withheld: white tees, unhurried delivery, the sense that the record does not owe you a smile. That reserve became a brand. Starboy was never just a nickname; it was an aesthetic that other artists copied because it looked expensive without trying. In a debate, this matters. One kind of stardom fills a hall. Another kind makes people want to dress, move, and record like the person on the poster. Wizkid’s influence is visible in the cooler, more international face of Afrobeats that followed him.

Choosing Wizkid, then, is choosing the artist whose peaks redrew the boundary of the genre. Not the most visible man in every season, but the one whose biggest records made the outside world adjust its idea of what Nigerian pop could be. That is the cleaner case, and it is the one that survives after the shouting dies down.

She said she can’t explain that kind of fun she had 🤩 You have to be there yourself 😊

[Zee🇦🇷 @Elozino__]

Wizkid knows how to activate people sha, you will just loose control 😂🔥

[Big Chike 🕷 @Badboychike]

I have noticed that a huge number of new generation artists are more wizkid fans than Davido

Infact there is really no A-list artist in the industry that's Davido inspired lol

For someone that has had insane longevity like him its really insane.

[OGEE MOSES🐼 @ogeemoses]

The Spotify streaming deductions started around May 2025 and a lot of artists lost streams, yet Wizkid remained untouched…That tells you his streams are organic. Wiz doesn’t need stream farming when he drops, we stream because we genuinely love him…No giveaways needed 😂🦅

[URGLY GRAMM🍃 @UrglyGramm]

$4k x Oriade, no wonder e no last one month for chart, the money long gan😭

[👽 @bevshmoney]

Mavo is fighting against $4000 bots and still winning. Just wow 💔😂

The love Wizkid has around the world is not normal.

You can disappear from timelines, skip interviews, cancel dates, stay quiet for months, and people will still argue over him like the album dropped yesterday. London. Accra. Toronto. Atlanta. Lagos. Paris. Somebody somewhere is still playing Essence like it is new. Somebody is still waiting for Joro live. Somebody is still saving money for a night that has not been announced.

That is the part people keep underestimating.

Wizkid does not have to be everywhere to be everywhere. The catalogue already did the touring. Made In Lagos still walks into rooms he has not entered in years. One hook and a whole diaspora starts singing in an accent that is not even theirs. That is not PR. That is possession.

And still the fans are tired of loving him from a distance.

They do not want another festival cameo. They do not want a clip. They want the full thing. Lights. Band. The old songs. The new songs. The moment where 20,000 people lose their minds at the first drum of Come Closer. They have been begging for that run. Proper dates. Proper cities. No disappearing act in the middle.

Because scattered shows are not a tour. A headline slot is not a tour. A December night in Lagos is not enough for a man whose music lives on five continents.

The hunger is loud for a reason. When an artist is this loved, absence does not kill the love. It makes it desperate. People start counting years. People start saying “just one.” People start posting old concert videos like scripture.

That is Wizkid’s real flex.

He can go quiet and the world still keeps a seat for him.

Now he should take the seat.

@wizkidayo should give us the tour. Give us the nights we have been begging for. Let the love stop living only in comment sections and start living in arenas again.

Any show organizer way wan make money, find wizkid ooo. Una see weting happen this weekend. You no go even know say the other guys perform not untill wizkid scatter everywhere with trends. He's the INDUSTRY ��💯😂😂😂

[/\/\|)ee🦁 @Mr_Md33_]

Some 2BGs are already tired of getting their streams deducted due to stream farming. 😂💔

[Nnamdi 🦅 @_Nsznn]

Davrel went on stream to say that Davido pays $4k weekly just to remain on Apple Music top 1

Na this one go cast him oga finish. 😭

[/\/\|)ee🦁 @Mr_Md33_]

Let do 50 days at number, but you dey pay for farming. That slow boy no know when that thing comot from him mouth 😂

[harrrsha @WizStatz]

Davido’s lackey, Davrel, reveals Davido spends $4K weekly to hit #1 on Nigeria’s Apple Music & Spotify charts through stream-farming and algorithmic playlists.

[harrrsha @WizStatz]

30Bingos are finding every possible way to make Mavo a villain simply because he likes Big Wiz. Same thing they repeatedly did to BNXN and Ruger until BNXN eventually pupu’d on their fave.

Your fave got to this level through luck and money. No sane artist would choose him as inspiration. Liking him over everyone else isn’t a do or d!e.

[Esosa kingsley🥷🏿 @MrSosabillz]

Mavo is better than davido,if are going to be honest 😂🔥

[BASITO @itzbasito]

Wizkid will be the most sampled African artiste, he will surpass Fela in that field in few years.
