Afrobeats sensation Davido has unfollowed record producer Rexxie on Instagram following a subtle jab directed at him regarding the Grammy Awards. Rexxie, known for his production work on Burna Boy's Grammy-winning album 'Twice As Tall' and Angelique Kidjo and Burna Boy's Grammy-nominated song 'Do Yourself', claimed he earned Grammy nominations before Davido during a Twitter exchange with a fan.
In the Twitter banter, Rexxie bragged about his Grammy nominations, suggesting he achieved the feat without seeking sympathy or engaging in publicity stunts like Davido. His comments, particularly about not dancing with kids in uniform or attending the show early with a large entourage, were interpreted as veiled jabs at Davido's past actions.
Davido swiftly responded to Rexxie's remarks by unfollowing him on Instagram, indicating his displeasure with the producer's comments. This move comes just three weeks after Rexxie revealed that Davido had reached out to him during his recent detention in Uganda, suggesting a friendly relationship between the two artists.
The incident highlights the competitive nature of the music industry and the importance of accolades like the Grammy Awards. Davido's response suggests that he takes pride in his achievements and is sensitive to comments that may undermine his accomplishments.
