Did Davido Respond To Burna Boy In ‘FEM’? Fans Break Down Lyrics Of New Song
Music lovers are wondering if Davido’s latest single ‘FEM’ was his response to Burna Boy who was alleged to have taken swipes at the DMW boss after he released his last album, ‘A Better Time’, some months ago.
Davido and Burna Boy trended on micro-blogging website, Twitter, on Thursday, as fans tried to link the lyrics of ‘FEM’ to comments Burna Boy made on social media a few months ago.

Some fans believe Davido was directly referring to Burna Boy when he said in a line of the new song: “Tell Odogwu say we like to party”.
Burna Boy had recently released a song titled ‘Odugwu’. Also, the Grammy nominee’s 2013 breakthrough song was titled ‘Like To Party’.
Supposed Rift
Fans of both singers had every reason to believe that they were fighting a cold war after Burna Boy, in May, posted a cryptic message on his Instagram that seemed to be directed at Davido.

He had said, “You cannot play football, everybody knows you cannot play football and you are an embarrassment to the team, but your daddy.”
After Davido announced plans to release another album in July barely a few months after releasing ‘A Good Time’, Burna Boy shared another cryptic post on his Instagram story.
He said, “JULY will be very funny, and I shall laugh accordingly”. Davido had failed to release the album on the promised date.
Meanwhile, the genesis of Burna Boy’s seeming attack on Davido was traced to a Twitter post where Davido described himself and Wizkid as, “The 2 greatest of all time.” The pronouncement did not go down well with some Burn Boy’s fans who attacked the singer.
