A lady on Twitter said Davido was the one who introduced Amapiano to Nigerian music scene two years no Wizkid is now riding on the success Davido’s effort made.

“Davido brought Amapiano from South Africa two years ago and made it a successful genre in Africa and Beyond, Wizkid is now hopping on the same genre after Davido made it a successful genre. This is how many African artists have been benefiting from Davido’s success for over 12yrs”, she tweeted.
