Wale Gates pours cold water on Wizkid-Davido fire

Comedian Wale Gate tried to use words to douse the social media fire flaming between Wizkid and Davido..
The ‘beef’ wildfire started a few days back when what looked like a harmless tweet from Wizkid was followed with a cold and not-so friendly tweet from Davido, each artist avoided mentioning each other’s names.

Wale Gate made his point on the ongoing ‘war’ via his Twitter page by saying  “Sometimes you wish these artistes learn a little from the past, open beef between artistes is one of the fastest ways to kill a flourishing career.

"The problem with beef is that it starts to affect the type of music you make, from making feel good happy music, you start writing ‘war’ songs. I have been around long enough to know it is pointless and an unnecessary distraction, only the media gains, not even your fans.”
