In a trending video circulating on social media, the man criticised Wizkid’s laid-back approach to self-promotion.
He claimed that the award-winning singer has become too relaxed to the point where younger colleagues like Rema are making more of an impact than him.
The young man further alleged that the Essence hitmaker would soon be compared to the likes of Portable and Joeboy.
Legit.ng reports that Davido leads with a staggering 30.7 million followers, followed by Tiwa Savage with 19.5 million, Burna Boy at 18.4 million, and Wizkid closely behind at 18.3 million.

Legit.ng earlier reported that the singer rarely pops up online until something serious catches his attention.
But recently, a viral video of the older lady and her friend surely caught his attention, as the singer beautifully replied to them.
The song they were spotted dancing to was Bend Down Pause, Wizkid's viral jam from 2019, where he featured Runtown.
Seeing the video, the singer replied to them, saying:
"❤️ enjoy your life Mama!!! Live long ❤️."

It doesn't mean the artist is fading - Emmanuel Alaba, media executive
In a chat with Media Executive Emmanuel Alaba, he noted that a decline in social media followers — whether on Instagram or any other platform — should not be misinterpreted as a sign that an artist’s career is fading.
"Decline in Instagram followers or any social doesn’t necessarily mean an artist is fading. Social media numbers only reflect popularity and visibility in a moment, but not always career health or artistic relevance. Artists who stop chasing trends might lose some followers but retain a loyal core audience that values their music more than their posts."
