Rising Nigerian star Fido found himself in the spotlight after his track “Joy is Coming” dethroned Davido’s “Funds” from the top spot on Apple Music. This unexpected chart victory ignited a heated online debate, with Davido’s fans, known as Davido FC, expressing their displeasure.
Fido responded to the backlash on Instagram Live, dismissing the criticism and playfully referring to Davido’s fans as “Osakpolor FC.” This cheeky jab was a reference to a nickname coined by Wizkid during a past rivalry with Davido. Fido emphasized his disinterest in competition, suggesting that the negativity was solely driven by the fans.
This incident underscores the intense rivalry between Nigerian music artists and their passionate fan bases. While Fido’s success may have ruffled some feathers, it also highlights the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of the Afrobeats music scene.
