“He’s Just Acting Like a Baby”: Davido Hits Back at Wande Coal, Backs Up His Claim With Evidence

• Davido publicly responded to Wande Coal's disputed claims by sharing a WhatsApp screenshot tied to his earlier interview remarks
• The screenshot allegedly shows that Wande Coal had tried to get Davido's phone number through a mutual contact just weeks before the drama
• The beef stems from an unreleased collaboration on Wande Coal's track 'Come My Way' and a disagreement over how the song should have been released

Davido has fired back at Wande Coal in the most direct way possible, posting a WhatsApp screenshot on social media to back up claims he made in a recent interview that had set the music world talking.

The disagreement between the two artists centres on an unreleased verse Davido recorded for Wande Coal's track "Come My Way."

According to Davido, he objected to the verse being packaged as a remix after the solo version of the song had already dropped, saying he preferred a different rollout.

Wande Coal pushed back on X, disputing Davido's version of events and pointing out that the track performed well regardless of the feature situation.

However, in an interview on August 18, the Afrobeats superstar stated that Wande Coal had been trying to get his phone number through a mutual contact roughly two weeks before the conversation took place.

Davido said he instructed the middleman not to pass it along, describing the older artist's behaviour as that of someone acting like a baby.

"He's been looking for my attention for some reason, I don't know. He even asked for my number two weeks ago and I told them not to give him. So he's — he's just acting like a baby; but he'll be fine," Davido said in the interview.
