They Reached Out to Me First’ —Wizkid on Puma Choosing Davido

Nigerian Afrobeat star Wizkid has shed light on why the renowned fashion brand Puma opted to collaborate with Davido instead of him.

In a fiery social media exchange on the 2nd of October, 2024, Wizkid addressed the matter while taking a jab at Davido amidst their ongoing online rivalry.

The discussion began after an X user, @Nelson Epega, suggested that Wizkid’s reaction stemmed from jealousy and frustration over Davido’s recent deal with Puma.

Responding to the video, Wizkid posted on X that Puma chose Davido because they simply couldn’t meet his price.

“U idiot! I turned down Puma because they could no longer afford to pay me because I wanted more! Don’t need dat! Way bigger than every artiste you just mentioned! Not jealous ! love them all. With ur dirty ass shirt! Idiot!

“No! Puma is a Big brand! But the budget they had for Africa wasn’t for me! Was cool for your client tho!” Wizkid wrote.
