In recent online squabbles, Israel DMW, an aide to musician Davido, faced accusations from Nigerians for allegedly disrespecting Wizkid, a fellow Afrobeat sensation.
Beyond Boders recalls that the disagreement stemmed from exchanges between Wizkid and Davido on a social media platform.
Israel DMW was drawn into the fray and made remarks perceived as insulting towards Wizkid.
In response to the backlash, Israel DMW defended himself, questioning the accusations of disrespect towards Wizkid.
He argued that when Wizkid criticized his boss, he felt compelled to speak up in support of Davido.
Israel emphasized his genuine admiration for Wizkid, stating that he has always urged Davido to reconcile their differences with the “Essence” singer.
Despite alleged warnings from others about Wizkid’s trustworthiness, Israel maintained his respect and desire for peace between the artistes.
Furthermore, Israel clarified that Davido had never instructed him or anyone else to disrespect Wizkid, refuting claims suggesting otherwise.
“How have i disrespected Wizi, that some you nuisance are currently saying? Who started the whole tin? Who firstly came for who? We should have kept just quiet, when he came for our Leader? I have always loved and respected wizi with all my life and i never pretended one day. I would always beg oga to make peace with him. I would always call his femi, to arrange for him and oga to see and wine together. Morgan, would always tell me and oga, that wizi, can’t be trusted for friendship. That he would one day come for us, but we didn’t believe at all. Oga, has never at anytime order any of us to disrespect wizi. Oga no be Linda Ikeji na,” he wrote.
