“It Was Like Sibling Drama” — Davido Breaks Silence on Tiwa Savage Feud After Months of Tension
Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has finally addressed the months-long rift between him and fellow music icon Tiwa Savage — a feud that had taken fans and the industry by storm.
Speaking during a recent interview on The Breakfast Club, Davido downplayed the incident that led to Tiwa Savage filing a formal complaint against him with the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, following reports that the “Unavailable” crooner allegedly sent threatening messages to the singer.
The tension reportedly erupted after Tiwa Savage was seen hanging out with Sophia Momodu, Davido’s estranged baby mama. According to sources close to the matter, Davido took offense and warned Tiwa to “be careful in Lagos” — a comment she interpreted as a threat to her safety.
However, in his first public comment on the issue, Davido described the altercation as a “minor misunderstanding,” comparing it to typical arguments between siblings.
“Me and Tiwa used to stay in the same house. It was like brothers and sisters arguing. It was nothing,” Davido said, brushing off any insinuations of a lasting grudge.
Though the two stars have not seen each other since the clash, Davido revealed that Tiwa Savage had reached out to him, leaving the door open for a future reconciliation.
“If the link-up happens, it happens,” he added.
The controversy had previously sparked a firestorm on social media, with fans of both artistes taking sides and speculating over the possible fallout between two of Afrobeats’ most celebrated voices.
While neither party has gone into full detail about the content of their exchanges, Tiwa Savage’s decision to involve law enforcement had raised serious questions about safety, loyalty, and personal boundaries in the ever-intertwined Nigerian music scene.
With Davido’s latest remarks, however, it appears the dust may finally be settling — or at least paused — as fans await what could be an eventual public reunion of the Afrobeats giants.
