Nigerian singer Davido Adeleke, commonly known as Davido, has made headlines by unfollowing record producer Rexxie on Instagram.
The move came after Rexxie subtly mocked Davido regarding the prestigious Grammy Awards.
Rexxie, a prominent figure in the music industry, proudly claimed to have received nominations for his production work on Burna Boy's Grammy-winning album "Twice As Tall" and the Grammy-nominated song "Do Yourself" by Angelique Kidjo and Burna Boy. In a Twitter exchange with a Davido fan, Rexxie asserted his Grammy recognition, stating that he had been nominated for a Grammy before Davido.
In a now-deleted post, Rexxie emphasized his achievements, seemingly aiming to undermine Davido's quest for a Grammy. He asserted, "Before your fav gets a Grammy, I've already gotten it. I don't rely on sympathy or engage in child's play or early attendance with my entourage and family members. Respect!"
The exchange between Davido's supporters and Rexxie continued until Rexxie decided to delete the contentious posts. However, Davido seized upon the opportunity to express his displeasure, opting to unfollow Rexxie across various social media platforms.
The unfollowing incident underscores the competitive nature of the music industry, where accolades such as Grammy Awards hold significant prestige. Davido's reaction reflects the importance placed on such recognition within the industry, as well as the sensitivity surrounding discussions about achievements and accolades.
