Davido and Jesse Jagz Exchange Harsh Words on X Over Music, Drugs, and Respect
A heated argument broke out on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) between Nigerian music star Davido and rapper Jesse Jagz, drawing massive attention from fans and music lovers. What started as a casual comment quickly turned into a serious war of words, with both artists trading strong accusations and personal insults online.
The drama began after Davido posted a short message saying, “I go use Amapiano yenk you,” a slang phrase many interpreted as playful or boastful. However, Jesse Jagz replied with “we don tire,” which appeared to dismiss Davido’s comment. This response seemed to trigger Davido, who immediately fired back with a much harsher reply.
Davido accused Jesse Jagz of drug use, telling him to “stop taking drugs.” He also made a controversial statement suggesting he could “buy your life,” a phrase that sparked outrage among social media users who felt the comment crossed the line from banter to disrespect.
Jesse Jagz strongly denied the drug allegation, responding that they both smoke the same substance and insisting he was not on hard drugs. The rapper then escalated the exchange by calling Davido a “wack musician,” questioning his artistic credibility and accusing him of manipulating music charts to stay relevant.
Jagz also addressed Davido’s “buy life” comment, stating clearly that “you can’t buy life, lil bro.” He urged Davido to show respect and reminded him that success and money do not make one superior to others. His response gained support from some fans who praised him for standing his ground.
As the argument continued, some of Jesse Jagz’s tweets were later deleted, which led to mixed reactions online. While some people felt the deletion showed regret, others believed it was done to avoid further backlash or escalation.
The online clash quickly became a trending topic, with fans of both artists choosing sides. Some defended Davido as a successful global star who was being provoked, while others criticized his choice of words and tone. On the other hand, Jesse Jagz was praised by some for speaking his truth, while others felt he should not have engaged publicly.
The incident once again highlights how quickly conversations can spiral on social media, especially among celebrities. A simple comment can turn into a public feud, reminding fans of the pressure, ego clashes, and rivalry that often exist within the Nigerian music industry.
