Wande Coal and Davido took their simmering disagreement to a very public stage on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, trading cutting remarks on X in a row that has left their Afrobeats fanbase firmly divided.
The bad blood traces back to "Come My Way," a Wande Coal track from 2021. A studio snippet featuring a Davido verse had circulated online years earlier, building fan anticipation for a collaboration that was ultimately never released.

In a recent interview, Davido said he had recorded the verse after Wande approached him, but pushed back against the idea of appearing only on a remix once the original solo version had already dropped.
He also pointed out that he holds a large catalogue of unreleased material, framing his decision as a matter of principle rather than personal grievance.
Wande Coal hits back at Davido
Wande Coal took to X to challenge that version of events, insisting the track had a confirmed release plan and date long before any dispute arose.
He questioned why Davido would attempt to set terms on a song that was not theirs to begin with, and underlined the fact that the record performed strongly without his feature.
Davido's reply was brief and biting: "No vex Mr Little 🍆."
Wande Coal did not let it sit, firing back almost immediately with "No vex too Mr. Toto beggar 😂," drawing an explosion of reactions across the platform.
"Come My Way" had already logged significant commercial success as a solo release before either artist revisited the conversation publicly, making the timing of the fallout all the more striking for fans watching two heavyweights of Nigerian music trade blows over a song most people had long moved on from.

Davido gets dragged over political history of Adelekes
Legit.ng had reported that the Adeleke family’s political history had resurfaced following comments by Nigerian singer Davido about his family’s roots in politics.
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.
