Fast-rising Nigerian singer and songwriter Oniyide Azeez, famously known as Zinoleesky, has set social media buzzing after revealing why he would choose Davido over fellow Afrobeats giants Wizkid and Burna Boy. The revelation came during a candid TikTok Live session with content creator Peller, where Zinoleesky was put on the spot with a tricky question: “If Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido were drowning, who would you save?”
The Marlian Music signee appeared momentarily taken aback by the intense hypothetical but answered with honesty. Zinoleesky admitted that while he doesn’t have any close, personal relationship with any of the three globally celebrated artists, he feels a slightly stronger connection with Davido. That “tiny sense of closeness,” he said, was enough for him to lean toward saving the DMW boss if forced to make a choice.
His response has since sparked a flurry of reactions across social media, with fans debating loyalty, influence, and personal ties in the entertainment industry. Zinoleesky’s comment follows a similar viral moment involving Tiwa Savage, who was also asked to make a “rescue decision” between Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Rema.
Zino’s heartfelt response has further cemented his image as an artist who’s not afraid to speak his truth—even when it ruffles feathers.
