Nigerian superstar Davido has set social media buzzing after a clip surfaced showing his reaction when a Burna Boy track was played at his daughter Imade’s 10th birthday party in Lagos.
Initially, Davido appeared relaxed and cheerful as he vibed to his own song, “Feel,” from his popular Timeless album. But when the DJ switched to a Burna Boy track, his mood shifted noticeably—an expression many online users described as awkward or irritated. The moment quickly went viral, with fans speculating about the tension between the two Afrobeats giants.
The birthday celebration also marked Davido’s first public outing with Imade since his highly publicized custody battle with her mother, Sophia Momodu. He was seen attending the event with his inner circle, including his cousin, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.
Online reactions were swift and animated. Some fans suggested the DJ might have been trying to stir drama. One person commented, “Sophia probably told the DJ to play Burna’s song,” while another joked, “If I were Davido, I’d cut that DJ’s payment in half!”
The incident has further fueled rumors of a lingering rift between Davido and Burna Boy—two of Nigeria’s biggest music exports. Fans now wonder whether the on-stage rivalry has crossed into personal territory, especially during such a private family event.
