The trending footage captured how the atmosphere changed quickly as the funseekers fell silent when Davido spoke from his heart about the loss and his relationship with the deceased.
“Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother, because she was dear to me, rest in peace,” he said.
The tribute elicited powerful emotions both online and offline, particularly as fans recalled Davido saying that Wizkid contacted him every day when he lost his son, Ifeanyi, a gesture he will never forget.

Legit.ng recently reported that Davido made headlines after he attacked Jubril A. Gawat, the senior special assistant on new media to Lagos state governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, following a series of social media discussions over Wizkid's upcoming concert.
Gawat had previously uploaded a poster promoting Wizkid's December concert, which was set to happen on the 28th at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), captioned "Ọmọ wa ni."
A fan commented on the post, writing:
"Wizkid is the face of Lagos. Baba Bolu always promotes Lagos."
Gawat answered, “Yes correct. We are proud of him.”
When another fan responded, "Ore oga nko?" (referring to Davido), Gawat wrote, "My Oga is proud of him."
Davido responded, quoting Gawat: "Bro, it's been a year, let it go… why is it still doing you... grow up.”
Davido then cited one of Gawat’s earlier tweets where he had said, "Ọrẹ Ọga wa ni," and wrote, "Since yesterday… let it go nah… cheer up."
