Afrobeats superstar Davido has stirred buzz online following his visible reaction to Burna Boy’s song being played during the birthday celebration of his daughter, Imade Adeleke.
The grand party, held in Lagos, drew attention not only for its glamour but also for the notable appearance of Davido, who arrived with an entourage that included his close associate Nikos Living and his father, Senator Ademola Adeleke, who currently serves as the Governor of Osun State.
The event marked a significant moment in Davido’s personal life, as it followed a long period of tension and custody-related issues with Imade’s mother, Sophia Momodu. The singer’s public reunion with his daughter brought smiles to fans and admirers who have followed the family’s journey.
In a now-viral video from the birthday bash, Davido is seen dancing joyfully to his chart-topping song Feel from his critically acclaimed album Timeless. The moment was one of lighthearted celebration until the DJ switched the music to a track by fellow Afrobeats giant Burna Boy.
As Burna Boy’s song filled the speakers, Davido’s demeanor shifted noticeably. His expression turned stern, and he appeared visibly infuriated, an unmissable moment that sparked a wave of reactions on social media.
Fans were quick to connect the dots, recalling the recent online feud between the two music heavyweights. The pair had clashed on social media in a highly publicized spat, reigniting long-standing tensions between them.
While neither artist has officially commented on the incident at Imade’s party, the viral clip has reignited conversations about the rivalry between two of Nigeria’s biggest music exports.
Some fans criticized the DJ’s choice of music given the context, while others saw Davido’s reaction as understandable given the heated history.
Regardless of opinions, one thing is clear, the rift between Davido and Burna Boy continues to make headlines and even children’s parties aren’t immune from the tension between Afrobeats royalty.
