Nigerian Rapper Jesse Jagz and Singer, Davido, Clash in Heated X Exchange Over Conduct and "Drug Use" Claims

A public social media spat erupted on Wednesday between Afrobeats superstar Davido and veteran rapper Jesse Jagz, involving serious accusations and sharp words that captivated Nigerian online audiences.

The conflict began following a viral Instagram Live video where Jesse Jagz appeared visibly distressed and disoriented while defending fellow musician Tuface Idibia during a conversation on media personality Daddy Freeze's platform. Davido, referencing the clip, took to X (formerly Twitter) to directly accuse Jagz of drug use.

The Heated Exchange

Davido's tweet was pointed and provocative. He wrote, "See wetin dr*g dey cause" ("See what drugs cause"), tagging Jesse Jagz and adding, "I go buy your life make you no go use am again" ("I will buy your life so you won't waste it anymore").

Jesse Jagz responded with a mix of exhaustion and defiance. He retorted with a sharp, "We don tire" ("We are tired [of this]"), followed by a firm demand: "Respect me." The swift and public nature of the clash drew immediate and widespread attention, with screenshots of the exchange spreading rapidly across social media.

Context and Fan Reaction

The underlying tension appears connected to Jesse Jagz's recent public appearances and statements, which have sparked concern among some observers. His defense of Tuface on the contentious live stream, where he seemed emotionally charged, may have prompted Davido's critical public intervention.

Online reactions have been sharply divided. Some users supported Davido's stance, interpreting his comment as a harsh but potentially well-intentioned warning against substance abuse. Others criticized the approach as public shaming, arguing it lacked empathy and could worsen the situation for someone who may be struggling. Many fans of Jesse Jagz rallied behind his call for respect, urging for privacy and a more constructive dialogue.

As of now, neither artist has issued a further public statement to clarify or de-escalate the situation, leaving the online community to debate the merits and fallout of the very public disagreement.

During an interview with the BBC Hausa Service, Sheikh Gumi pointed to deteriorating security in areas that had shown marked improvement. He specifically highlighted the Abuja-Kaduna highway, which had become safer for travelers, and the farmlands around Birnin Gwari in Kaduna State, where farmers had cautiously returned to their fields after years of abandonment.
