10) He Has a Better Story
Davido has had a much more inspiring story than Wizkid. He started off making music in his father’s church and worked his way up to become one of the most successful Nigerian artists in the world. Davido’s journey has been full of hardship, as he faced many struggles growing up including poverty and the loss of family members.
Despite this, he never gave up and kept working hard, never letting go of his dream of becoming an international superstar. His determination and hard work have paid off as he has now been able to achieve success on an international level.
On the other hand, Wizkid has had a much more privileged upbringing and hasn’t had to face nearly as much adversity as Davido. This is part of the reason why Davido’s story resonates with many people and is part of the reason why he is so admired by many.
Stop this your stupid talk.. davido isn’t better than WizKid .. either WizKid is better than davido .. the both of them have their own different talent in music and their music is sweet and reasonable to listen to … And one thing you should know that WizKid was from a poor background .. and he worked so hard to get to where he’s today .. and for OBO .. he has a background already it’s was somehow easy for him .. because of family connection .. but he also worked hard .. … So stop coming here on Google to post nonsense .. about 10 rubbish reason why davido is better than WizKid .. and as for the award you said about ..
