The internet is buzzing again — and this time, it’s not about a new hit song or celebrity breakup. It’s about Ivana, a rising TikTok sensation from Akwa Ibom, and her unexpected fallout with Davido’s team during the 5ive Alive Tour in Uyo.
According to sources, Ivana was selected to perform at Davido’s sold-out concert at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, one of the biggest entertainment events to ever hit Uyo. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — the kind that could turn a local performer into a national star overnight.
But then… everything changed.
A few hours before the show, Ivana reportedly went live on TikTok to make a bold statement. She said, “I’m still Wizkid FC. No matter what, I can’t switch sides.”
Now, if you know how deep the rivalry between Davido’s 30BG and Wizkid FC runs in the Nigerian music industry, you’ll understand why that statement caused a stir. Within minutes, the clip spread across social media, and according to inside sources, word quickly reached Davido’s management.
And just like that — her name was reportedly removed from the performance lineup.
Imagine it. One moment, you’re set to share the stage with one of Africa’s biggest artists. The next, you’re trending online for the wrong reasons.
This has sparked a heated debate:
👉🏽 Did Ivana stand for loyalty — staying true to her favorite artist no matter what?
or
👉🏽 Did she act out of foolishness, letting emotion block a golden opportunity?
💬 Let’s Be Honest
In the entertainment world, loyalty is respected, but wisdom pays the bills.
There’s a time to represent your favorite artist, and there’s a time to play smart — especially when your career is on the line.
Ivana could’ve easily performed, kept her personal preferences private, and walked away with new fans, connections, and exposure. Instead, one careless statement cost her the chance to shine in front of thousands.
Davido’s team, on the other hand, did what any brand-conscious crew would do. No brand wants to promote someone who publicly declares support for a rival — especially right before a major event. It’s not about hate; it’s business.
🎤 The Bigger Picture
This story goes beyond Davido and Ivana. It’s a lesson for every young creative chasing fame in the digital age.
Social media is powerful — one post can make you, and one post can break you.
Always ask yourself:
-
“Is this post worth the bag I might lose?”
-
“Can my opinion wait until after the deal?”
Because sometimes, silence is not weakness — it’s strategy.
💡 Moral of the Story
Don’t let loyalty turn into self-sabotage.
Be loyal, yes — but be wise. The world doesn’t reward stubbornness; it rewards strategy.
Move smart, stay humble, and let your talent speak louder than your mouth. 🎙️🔥
What do you think?
Was Ivana right to stay loyal to Wizkid, or did she mess up big time?
