The music world is buzzing after Roy, Wizkid’s former security guard, joined Davido’s “5IVE Alive Tour” in the US. The move has stirred mixed reactions online, with fans debating whether it’s just business or another twist in the long-running Davido-Wizkid rivalry.
Many argue that a bodyguard’s loyalty lies with whoever pays, not personal brand alliances.
- @bugzydvinci: “Security gets hired… that man is just trying to make ends meet!”
- @simi_toks: “Should he not work?”
- @chisom____e: “It’s a free world—people can work where they want!”
Others see this as a subtle jab in the Davido-Wizkid saga, with playful (and not-so-playful) digs flying.
- @dubbie_honcho: “They always want what Wizkid doesn’t want. “
- @ddoradollarblog: “Davido stays obsessed with Wiz. Just enjoy your money and leave the man alone!”
- @chinex_ch: “If you can’t beat them, join them!”
Some fans couldn’t resist turning the situation into comedy gold.

- @agboolacashy: “Next, they’ll recruit DJ Tunes and Faruk too!”
- @estheryakubuempire: “Wait, does Roy even know he’s on tour? “
- Roy himself (@royofdestiny) initially played coy: “Una don mad, which tour?”
A few believe Davido thrives on controversy and deliberately stokes the rivalry.
- @living_and_observing: “Davido acts innocent but loves drama. Insecure behavior.”
- @eazyiseazy: “First D’banj’s bodyguard, now Wizkid’s. Why always copying?”
Beyond the jokes and fan wars, this highlights how every move in Nigeria’s music industry gets dissected, even a bodyguard switching sides becomes headline news. While some live for the drama, others just want the focus on the music.
Roy’s new gig is probably just about securing the bag. But in the world of celebrity fandoms, even a simple job change can spark a full-blown online war. One thing’s certain: Davido’s tour just got even more buzz, and Wizkid’s fans are keeping receipts.
