“It Was Wizkid, Olamide And I Before You” – Yung6ix Tackles Davido [Video]

Nigerian rapper, Yung6ix has tackled Afrobeats superstar, Davido, over his statement regarding the “new cats” in the music industry.

KanyiDaily recalls that during a recent interview with Brut Afrique, Davido claimed that he and Wizkid were the first young Nigerian artists to achieve stardom.

Davido, however, said he was excited to see “new cats” like Burna Boy, Rema, Fireboy, Mayorkun, and Asake now making remarkable strides in the music industry.

The statement made by Davido has generated diverse reactions on social media, with some fans of Burna Boy expressing their disagreement, as they believe the Grammy-winning artist should not be compared to emerging musicians.

Joining the discussion, Yung6ix referred to Davido as “my boy” while stating that he was in the industry before him.

The rapper asserted that Wizkid, Olamide, and himself had dominated the music scene before Davido’s emergence.

He acknowledged that there were other talented artists before them, but they were considered the younger generation.

“David! You know I got nothing but love for you my boy but this right here, ain’t nothing but a little bit of straightening, so let’s get it straight,” Yung6ix said.

“So it was Wiz, it was Ola and it was 6ix before it was you. There was a lot of people that had motion, a lot of people but the big homies, we was the youngins.”

Using pidgin English, the US-based rapper questioned whether Davido was high on marijuana, wondering why the singer would overshadow his legacy.

“So no tell me say you don dey smoke on colos no! David I dey stay California now na legit for here, no bam pass like that, you wan dey skip swaggalomor for the legacy?” Yung6ix added.
