Every afrobeats lover knows about the notorious Wizkid FC vs 30BG banter. It’s a war of sounds, styles, and vibes, and this year? The stakes are even higher.
Wizkid has been steadily teasing us with snippets of music that make you want to whine your waist and rethink your life choices. Meanwhile, Davido tried to give us something with his new drop “Awuke“, but let’s be honest… it’s not exactly the jolly banger we’re all waiting for.
But let’s be real, the competition this time around is looking a little lopsided. Why? Because Wizkid is coming through with something major, and we already know that Machala no dey ever disappoint.
Machala Magic: ‘Kese (Dance)’ Sets the Stage
First, let’s talk about Wizkid’s recent release: “Kese (Dance)”. As a lead single ahead of his highly anticipated album Morayo (dropping on November 22, 2024), Wizkid has already set the tone for what’s going to be a legendary December — and 2025, for that matter. The track dropped like a bomb, and the response has been nothing short of fire.
In fact, “Kese (Dance)” has already achieved a major milestone: it became the song with the highest opening day streams on Spotify Nigeria, racking up an impressive 1.5 million streams on its release day. If that’s not a sign of greatness, I don’t know what is. The song has instantly taken over airwaves, playlists, and social media feeds, sending fans (including yours truly) into a frenzy. The Afrobeat legend has once again shown that his music is the pulse of Nigerian pop culture, and with Morayo just around the corner, we know we’re about to eat really good this December.
Over the last few weeks, Machala has been teasing us with snippets of some serious heat. If you’ve been paying attention, you’ve caught a few sneak peeks on X, Instagram, or TikTok – those fire beats paired with his unmistakable voice. You can practically hear the ‘Detty December’ in every note.
The infectious energy of “Kese (Dance)” is preparing us for the full Morayo experience, which promises to bring the heat for months to come. It’s clear that Wizkid isn’t just dropping music, he’s creating moments.
Trust me, when the full tracks drop, you won’t even remember what else was released this month. The energy is already radiating from those snippets. We can almost feel the club, the parties, and the holiday dinners from here.

Davido’s “Awuke”: A “Detty” Disappointment Maybe?
Now, let’s talk about “Awuke”. Davido fans, hold your horses because I’m coming in hot.
Now, let’s shift gears and talk about Davido. As much as we love the 30BG gang, I have to be honest here. While Wizkid is setting the bar high with “Kese (Dance)”, Davido’s “Awuke” featuring YG Marley, didn’t exactly hit the mark for me. It’s cute, it’s catchy, but it’s not exactly the game-changer that gets you hyped for Detty December. Also, did anyone else struggle to hear what YG Marley was saying in his verse? No? Just me? Okay o.
The thing is, ‘Awuke‘ may have its moments, but it doesn’t have that… pizzazz that leaves you replaying it over and over. The beat is there, but the energy is a bit too low-key for what we need to ignite the December vibe. And, when you’re up against Wizkid’s undeniable dominance in the Afrobeat scene, let’s face it, Wizkid FC vs 30BG feels a little one-sided this time around.
Don’t get me wrong, Davido is still the king of the 30BG empire, and most of his songs are undisputed classics. But for this December, I’m just not convinced that “Awuke” is the song that’s going to take over the festive season the way “Kese (Dance)” already has. We all know Davido has the potential to drop a hit — but right now, “Awuke” feels more like a side dish when we’re all expecting the main course.
Honestly, it feels like the kind of song you play when you’re chilling at a gathering, but not the one you’ll shout about when you’re calling your friends to get ready for a crazy night out.

Very interesting subject, regards for posting. “Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.” by Lisa Grossman.
Virtue, they say, lies in the middle, but who among us can truly say where the middle is? Is it a fixed point, or does it shift with time, perception, and context? Perhaps the middle is not a place but a way of moving, a constant balancing act between excess and deficiency. Maybe to be virtuous is not to reach the middle but to dance around it with grace.
Even the gods, if they exist, must laugh from time to time. Perhaps what we call tragedy is merely comedy from a higher perspective, a joke we are too caught up in to understand. Maybe the wisest among us are not the ones who take life the most seriously, but those who can laugh at its absurdity and find joy even in the darkest moments.
Man is said to seek happiness above all else, but what if true happiness comes only when we stop searching for it? It is like trying to catch the wind with our hands—the harder we try, the more it slips through our fingers. Perhaps happiness is not a destination but a state of allowing, of surrendering to the present and realizing that we already have everything we need.
The essence of existence is like smoke, always shifting, always changing, yet somehow always present. It moves with the wind of thought, expanding and contracting, never quite settling but never truly disappearing. Perhaps to exist is simply to flow, to let oneself be carried by the great current of being without resistance.
I always was interested in this subject and still am, thankyou for putting up.
I’d have to examine with you here. Which is not one thing I usually do! I take pleasure in reading a post that may make folks think. Additionally, thanks for permitting me to comment!

Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any recommendations?
Perfect work you have done, this internet site is really cool with fantastic information.
The potential within all things is a mystery that fascinates me endlessly. A tiny seed already contains within it the entire blueprint of a towering tree, waiting for the right moment to emerge. Does the seed know what it will become? Do we? Or are we all simply waiting for the right conditions to awaken into what we have always been destined to be?
I have not checked in here for a while as I thought it was getting boring, but the last few posts are good quality so I guess I’ll add you back to my daily bloglist. You deserve it my friend 🙂
Time is often called the soul of motion, the great measure of change, but what if it is merely an illusion? What if we are not moving forward but simply circling the same points, like the smoke from a burning fire, curling back onto itself, repeating patterns we fail to recognize? Maybe the past and future are just two sides of the same moment, and all we ever have is now.
The cosmos is said to be an ordered place, ruled by laws and principles, yet within that order exists chaos, unpredictability, and the unexpected. Perhaps true balance is not about eliminating chaos but embracing it, learning to see the beauty in disorder, the harmony within the unpredictable. Maybe to truly understand the universe, we must stop trying to control it and simply become one with its rhythm.
Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
If everything in this universe has a cause, then surely the cause of my hunger must be the divine order of things aligning to guide me toward the ultimate pleasure of a well-timed meal. Could it be that desire itself is a cosmic signal, a way for nature to communicate with us, pushing us toward the fulfillment of our potential? Perhaps the true philosopher is not the one who ignores his desires, but the one who understands their deeper meaning.

I truly appreciate this post. I’ve been looking everywhere for this! Thank goodness I found it on Bing. You have made my day! Thanks again

Friendship, some say, is a single soul residing in two bodies, but why limit it to two? What if friendship is more like a great, endless web, where each connection strengthens the whole? Maybe we are not separate beings at all, but parts of one vast consciousness, reaching out through the illusion of individuality to recognize itself in another.
This really answered my problem, thank you!
