Final year students from the University of Benin (UNIBEN) have set the internet abuzz following an incident during their sign-out ceremony where they labeled Wizkid’s song as “boring” and demanded the DJ play a track by Davido instead. The event, which unfolded in front of a lively crowd, has sparked major reactions across social media platforms.
This moment was captured on video and quickly went viral on the popular social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). The footage shows students initially enjoying themselves during the celebration, but once the DJ played a song by Wizkid, several attendees began expressing their displeasure, describing the track as “too boring” for the celebratory atmosphere.
Throughout the video, students could be seen voicing their complaints repeatedly, calling on the DJ to change the music. In response, the DJ obliged and switched to a song by Davido, a move that drastically transformed the energy of the crowd.
As soon as Davido’s song began to play, the atmosphere completely shifted. The students, previously disinterested, erupted into cheers and danced energetically, clearly much more enthusiastic about the new song choice. This change in vibe highlighted the stark difference in their reactions to the two artists’ music.
Since the video surfaced online, it has attracted a lot of attention, with fans of both Wizkid and Davido taking to social media to defend their favorite artists. The incident has ignited debates about the suitability of certain music for specific events, with many weighing in on whether Wizkid’s tracks are too mellow for a party setting compared to the energetic beats of Davido’s hits.
