Wizkid and Davido are no doubt two of the biggest acts in Nigeria with international reach. So versatile and good are they that they have been regarded as the two biggest musicians in Nigeria. Just like the eternal debate between Messi and Ronaldo, Wizkid and Davido have been compared as to who the richest is, who is the better musician between the two, and who has more hit songs.
Wizkid and Davido have both worked with international acts such as Chris Brown, with Davido being the most recent of the duo to feature the American singer. Wizkid, however, added to his global presence after being featured in Beyonce’s Brown Skin Girl’ track which was widely accepted immediately after its release, making him the only Nigerian artiste to ever collaborate with Beyonce Knowles.
The question remains, who is the better artiste between Wizkid and Davido? What is their worth? Who has more money? Who is the better singer and who has more award and recognition outside of Nigeria? Who has more baby mama? These questions and more are often the main questions that come up during the Davido vs Wizkid comparison which shall be addressed in this post.
