Special Spesh, a close associate and hype man of popular Nigerian singer Davido, has stepped in to promote peace amidst the brewing beef between Davido and Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy.
Spesh’s intervention comes after Davido made a comment about Burna Boy being one of the “new cats” in the music industry, which sparked controversy among fans.
News About Nigeria confirmed that during an interview, Davido, also known as David Adeleke, asserted that he and fellow artist Wizkid were the first young artists to achieve success in the industry.
He stated that this fact is widely recognized and expressed his excitement about seeing the emergence of “new cats” who are now dominating the music scene.
Davido listed Burna Boy, Rema, Fireboy, Mayorkun, and Asake as examples of these “new cats” who have risen to prominence after him and Wizkid.
Davido’s comment ignited a divide among fans, who took sides between Davido, often referred to as Omo Baba Olowo (OBO), and Burna Boy, known as the African Giant.
This led to increased tension and debates on social media platforms.
Davido said; “Everybody knows that I was one of the first, Wizkid and I were the first young artistes to blow up and it feels good seeing new cats like Burna Boy, Rema, Fireboy, Mayorkun.
You know a lot of new cats coming, killing it…Asake who was on my album. So, yes, I think the future of Afrobeat is in good hands.”
In response to the controversy, Special Spesh took to his social media account to share a video expressing his speechlessness regarding Davido’s comment.
He also mentioned that the weekend would be filled with prolonged discussions due to the ongoing controversy.
Spesh’s video also featured Burna Boy, suggesting a sense of unity despite the recent tensions.
