Nigerian music superstar Davido Adeleke found himself in an online clash with Jubril Gawat, the Senior Special Assistant on New Media to Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, after the aide publicly praised Wizkid, Davido’s longtime music rival.
The exchange began when Gawat shared a poster promoting Wizkid’s upcoming December 28 concert at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS). In his caption, Gawat wrote: “Ọmọ wa ni” (“Our child”), signaling pride in the singer’s achievements.
Fans quickly weighed in on the post. One fan commented: “Wizkid is the face of Lagos. Baba Bolu always promotes Lagos.”

When another fan asked about Davido, “Ore oga nko?” (referring to the Governor’s aide’s boss’s friend), Gawat replied: “My Oga is proud of him.”
Davido Reacts to the Omission
Davido did not take the comments lightly and replied directly to Gawat’s thread.
He wrote: “Bro, it’s been a year, let it go… why is it still doing you… grow up.”
Davido also cited a previous tweet from the aide where Gawat had said: “Ọrẹ Ọga wa ni,” adding: “Since yesterday… let it go nah… cheer up.”
