With tracks like Kese, which sparked a viral dance trend and quickly became a fan favorite, Morayo seemed poised for a prolonged reign on the charts. However, its early exit has left fans of Wizkid—also known as Wizkid FC—defending the project, while Davido’s loyal supporters, the 30BG gang, seized the moment to mock the Starboy’s latest effort.

Morayo was deeply personal for Wizkid, dedicated to his late mother and designed to immortalize her legacy through music. Fans worldwide praised its emotional depth and Afrobeat brilliance. Yet, the album’s Billboard performance has sparked controversy, with some questioning whether its initial momentum was sustainable.

As expected in the heated rivalry between Wizkid and Davido fanbases, the album’s short Billboard stint became fuel for trolling. Davido’s 30BG supporters flooded social media with jabs, with one particularly biting comment gaining traction: “Mama gone, gbedu gone”—mocking the dual loss of Wizkid’s mother and the perceived underperformance of the album meant to honor her.

Wizkid FC, known for their fierce loyalty, quickly fired back, pointing out the album’s initial success and its record-breaking performance on streaming platforms. Many argued that Morayo’s cultural impact outweighs its Billboard performance, citing its emotional resonance and viral tracks like Kese.

The saga surrounding Morayo has reignited debates about chart dominance and authenticity in Afrobeats. While Billboard rankings remain a gold standard, many argue that they shouldn’t overshadow an album’s global reach and cultural influence—areas where Wizkid’s Morayo undoubtedly excelled.

Despite the Billboard setback, Wizkid remains one of Afrobeats’ most iconic figures.

While rivals may mock and numbers may fluctuate, Morayo’s heartfelt message and its connection to Wizkid’s personal loss have solidified its place in Afrobeats history.
