"I’d Save Davido": Zinoleesky’s Daring Pick Sparks Reactions Online

Fast-rising Nigerian artist Zinoleesky has stirred conversations across social media after choosing Davido over Wizkid and Burna Boy in a playful “who would you save?” scenario during a TikTok live chat with influencer Peller.

When asked which of the three Afrobeats giants he would rescue if they were all drowning, Zinoleesky didn’t hesitate—“Davido,” he answered, citing his closer relationship with the DMW boss as the reason behind his choice.

“I’d save Davido. We connect more,” the Kilofeshe crooner explained.

This lighthearted moment has added fuel to an ongoing wave of playful comparisons among Afrobeats stars, coming just days after Tiwa Savage made a similar controversial pick that sent fans debating loyalties across social platforms.

💬 Opinion: Why These Choices Matter More Than You Think

At first glance, Zinoleesky’s comment might seem like harmless banter, but in the emotionally charged world of Afrobeats fandom, even casual remarks can ignite loyalty wars. While artists may laugh it off, fans rarely do. The moment an artist picks sides—whether for friendship or favoritism—it subtly reinforces the “big three” rivalry in Nigeria’s music scene.

Zinoleesky’s choice also reflects a deeper truth in the industry: genuine relationships still matter, even in an era of digital stardom. Davido’s reputation for being open, accessible, and supportive of younger artists could very well be what continues to endear him to emerging talents like Zinoleesky.
