Interestingly, both artistes have had an ongoing feud of supremacy which has variously manifested on social media. In his congratulatory message, Nigerian artiste, Banky W, wrote; 

"Wizkid and David are both extremely important to the Naija/African music movement and culture, and I personally HATE it when people try to make it seem like you have to choose one or the other,"


"There's enough room in the sky for all of our stars to fly, so instead of us encouraging a childish, petty narrative that never ends well(remember Pac/Biggie?), we should encourage all of our acts to be all they can be. I don't wanna choose. Why should I have to?," he added.
