Wande Coal, Davido clash over unreleased song

Nigerian singers Wande Coal and Davido have clashed on social media over an unreleased collaboration, “Come My Way”.

The disagreement was sparked by comments made by Davido during a recent podcast interview, which he shared on his Instagram Story.

Davido said the collaboration was shelved after he disagreed with Wande Coal on how the song should be released.

He disclosed that Wande Coal initially approached him to feature on the song, after which he recorded a verse.

He said the disagreement arose when Wande Coal planned to release the original song first and subsequently use his contribution for a remix.

Davido said he did not write his verse with the intention of releasing it as a remix, adding that the disagreement over the proposed release arrangement was responsible for the collaboration not being released.

However, Wande Coal rejected Davido’s claims in a post on X, arguing that ‘Come My Way’ already had a release plan and date before the disagreement.

He wrote: “Carry song come give you as how? Song wey been get release plan and date!!! Song wey no be your own you wan dictate release plan.”

The singer added that the song performed well without Davido’s contribution, refuting narratives that the collaboration’s failure was primarily linked to his release strategy.

The disagreement later escalated on social media as Davido subsequently responded to him on X, leading to further exchange of words between both artistes.

Also speaking during an interview with News Central on Tuesday, Davido said Wande Coal recently tried to get his phone number, but he declined.

“He’s been looking for my attention for some reason… he’s just acting like a baby. He’ll be fine,” he said.

When asked about Wizkid, Davido declined to comment.

However, as the war of words continues between the two them, netizens, especially their fans and industry watchers, have urged them to sheathe their swords.
