- Iyanya is facing criticism for misspelling ‘Morayo’ while addressing loyalty allegations.
- The allegations suggest Iyanya has switched allegiance from Wizkid to Davido.
- The situation highlights ongoing tensions between the two prominent Afrobeats artists.
Afrobeats singer Iyanya has faced another round of criticism after erroneously spelling ‘Morayo’ while addressing allegations that he has switched loyalty from Wizkid to Davido.
The controversy stems from the longstanding tension between the two Afrobeats giants, which has seen fans of both camps engaging in fierce debates online.
The backlash began after an X user accused Iyanya of abandoning his friendship with Wizkid to support Davido more openly. In response, the Sexy Mama crooner attempted to clear the air by emphasising that he supports all artists equally, naming several albums he claims to listen to regularly.
However, while making his point, Iyanya mistakenly referred to Wizkid’s tribute album Morayo, named after the singer’s late mother, as “Maroya.”
“I played Wizkid’s Made in Lagos and Maroya, the same way I play every other artiste songs,” he wrote, a typo that fans quickly latched onto.
Afrobeats star Iyanya has come under fire once again, this time for a spelling blunder while defending himself against claims of switching allegiance from Wizkid to Davido.
The criticism follows renewed fan rivalry between supporters of the two Afrobeats heavyweights, Wizkid and Davido—a divide that frequently ignites heated exchanges across social media platforms.
It all started when a user on X (formerly Twitter) accused Iyanya of turning his back on Wizkid in favor of publicly backing Davido. In a bid to refute the claim, the “Sexy Mama” hitmaker stressed that he supports all artists equally, citing several albums he frequently listens to.
