Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo sent tongues wagging among Nigerian music lovers when he made public his favorite artist between Afrobeat giants Davido and Wizkid. While creating content for his YouTube channel, Ronaldo was asked to make a choice between the two Nigerian superstars. He did not waste time choosing Davido, a situation that got fans arguing in droves.
A preference for Davido by Ronaldo may not even come as a surprise to some; after all, the football star and Davido follow each other on Instagram, unlike Wizkid, who famously follows nobody. That small connection has given fans of the two artists even more reason to debate their long-in-the-works rivalry.
News of Ronaldo’s move adds another layer to the ongoing debate over who occupies the number one spot in Nigerian music. Judging by their reactions, it’s crystal clear that Ronaldo’s endorsement of Davido has only ramped up the ante in this friendly rivalry between the two Afrobeat giants.
