Former Kogi governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dino Melaye, has crowned grammy-nominated singer, Davido, leader of the Nigerian music industry.

Dino joined the on-going online supremacy battle between Wizkid and Davido, lending his voice in favour of the ‘Unavailable’ crooner.

Melaye argued that Davido was “undoubtedly” the leader of the Nigerian music industry and most commercially successful globally.

On his X handle, he wrote: “Davido is undoubtedly the 001 in the Nigerian music industry and undoubtedly the most patronised globally.”

Wizkid and Davido were recently engaged in a fierce social media war on X.

Davido later challenged Wizkid to a hit battle.

Responding, the Starboy boss dared him to release a song he wrote himself.
