Nigeria’s Afrobeat scene has been set ablaze once again with explosive rumors swirling around the alleged snub between Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy and his longtime rival, Davido.
At the heart of this storm is Davido’s loyal aide, Isreal DMW, who has now entered the fray, delivering a fiery rebuttal to the circulating claims.
According to the viral reports, Burna Boy reportedly snubbed Davido during a tense encounter at a secret club in Abuja, where the Timeless crooner supposedly tried to make peace, only to be coldly rejected by Burna Boy.
The rumor mill first caught fire on Elon X after a well-known influencer—famously connected to Burna Boy’s camp—spilled the tea on the alleged drama. According to the insider, Davido had reportedly made a bold attempt to squash their long-standing beef, claimed Burna Boy turned his back, refused to reconcile.
The shocking claim instantly went viral, with fans, critics, and entertainment enthusiasts fueling the gossip online.
But the flames grew hotter when music producer Samklef took to his page, celebrating the scandal with glee. He jubilantly fanned the flames, relishing the narrative that Burna had given Davido a public snub.
In the face of the escalating chaos, Isreal DMW couldn’t stay silent. He stormed onto the scene to defend his boss, Davido, with a blistering response that aimed to shut down the rumors once and for all.
In a pointed statement, Isreal refuted the entire story, boldly claiming that the two Afrobeat stars never crossed paths during Davido’s time in Abuja.
He called out the viral rumors as nothing more than fabricated lies, challenging anyone to provide proof of where and when the so-called snub occurred.
Isreal DMW reacts;
“HOW ? AND WHERE ? WE DIDN’T EVEN MEET AT ANY PLACE AT ALL. HMMMM.”
However, the ever-controversial Samklef wasn’t ready to let the matter die down so easily. After coming across Isreal’s rebuttal on the popular Instagram blog Instablog, Samklef was quick to fire back with a cryptic post, fueling speculation even further.
Samklef wrote;
