What began as a disagreement over a shelved collaboration between Davido and Wande Coal has now escalated into a full-blown social media war, complete with personal insults.
The tension started when Davido, during a recent interview with Uncut, addressed why their joint record, "Come My Way," never made it to release.
According to him, Wande Coal was the one who initially approached him for a feature, and he delivered a verse he considered outstanding. The breakdown, Davido said, came down to a dispute over the structure of the release.

Wande Coal Pushes Back
Wande Coal was having none of it. On Tuesday, 18 August, the singer took to X to publicly reject Davido's account, making clear that he did not accept the claim that a disagreement over release strategy was what killed the song.
The pushback set off a chain of exchanges between the two acts, with both throwing shade at each other in the days that followed.
Personal Shots Exchanged
Things took a sharp turn when Davido chose to move beyond the musical dispute and attack Wande Coal personally.
He wrote on X: "No vex Mr Little," a comment widely understood as a jab at the singer's anatomy.
Wande Coal did not hold back in his response. He fired straight back, writing: "No vex too Mr. Toto beggar," referencing a longstanding online taunt that has followed Davido.

In a resurfaced interview shared on Sunday, August 16, 2026, the singer revealed that his late uncle, Isiaka Adeleke, was the first politician in the family before Ademola Adeleke later followed in his footsteps.
Davido’s comments, however, sparked mixed reactions online, with some Nigerians questioning the idea of political leadership being passed down within a family as though it were an inheritance.
