The controversy reignited after an X user, @Akubasteeny, accused Iyanya of switching allegiance from Wizkid, with whom he previously collaborated on the hit song Sexy Mama, to Davido, following his recent public support for the DMW boss’s music.
“I thought Wiz was your friend. I am just wondering why you switched side and turned into Davido’s boy,” the user wrote.

“I don’t have an issue with any artiste. I played Wizkid’s Made in Lagos and Morayo, the same way I play every other artiste’s songs. Most artistes won’t say this, but we are the first to listen to other artistes’ projects when they drop. It’s part of our work to stay updated on the sound and the game” he wrote.
Iyanya further highlighted his consistent support for other artists, referencing his habit of playing new music introduced to him by talent manager Ubi Franklin. He also mentioned that he still maintains a good relationship with Burna Boy, saying they recently partied together at a club.
