Nigerian musician David Adeleke aka Davido posted a heartfelt message to celebrate the birthday of Afropop star Ayodeji Balogun aka Wizkid.

Davido, who is currently in Paris ahead of the Afro Punk concert, shared the message on his Twitter handle @iam_davido, as Wizkid turned 28, on Monday,.

He wrote, “Happy birthday brother!! @wizkidayo keep soaring! God keep you safe! Your children go see you live long. Amen Gbefun!”

The ‘Assurance’ crooner also took to his Instagram page @davidooficial to share a video of himself dancing to Wizkid’s hit song ‘Soco’.

He captioned it, “Happy birthday @wizkidayo!!! Keep soaring my G.”

Davido’s celebration of Wizkid birthday is an indication that they have buried the hatchet.
This is the first birthday celebration that one or both of them have sent open messages to each other as they had a long standing rift which ended in December 2017.

The supremacy war ended when Davido and Wizkid appeared and performed in each other’s shows to showcase their reconciliation.

Meanwhile, fans of the two star artists have expressed their gratitude over the open love shown in the message, with some fans pleading for a collaboration.

@Onyeoma_Donald tweeted, “What about a collaboration between the two of you as birthday gift? RT if you agree.”

@King_naks wrote, “Amen. Strong prayer from the brother. Good heart. Live long and let love lead. Looking forward to your collaboration.”

@Gfsoloking said, “Amen! That’s brotherly love. Free yourself from hate.”
@Iam_sleekchick tweeted, “OBO, we want a collaboration from the two of you. Start making preparations and release it on your birthday.”

However, more birthday messages continue to pour in for Wizkid from fellow celebrities and fans alike.
The singer, who started recording music at age 11, has been featured in the 2018 Guinness World Record for his contribution to Drake’s hit song ‘’One Dance’.

He recently became the first African singer to walk the runway for international fashion brand Dolce and Gabbana alongside supermodel, Naomi Campbell.

WhatsApp steps up war against fake news

WhatsApp, the Facebook owned company, is stepping up the battle against fake news with a big change that’ll affect anyone that uses the messaging app as it limits people’s ability to forward messages to large groups.
The idea is that, in theory, it will make it harder for things to “go viral” and will stop the spread of sensationalised fake news.

“In India – where people forward more messages, photos, and videos than any other country in the world – we’ll also test a lower limit of 5 chats at once and we’ll remove the quick forward button next to media messages.” the company confirmed .

In the rest of the world, users will only be able to forward messages on to 20 people. The previous limit was 250.

WhatsApp has confirmed that the new change is in response to the spread of fake news and in some cases resulting violence in places like India and Myanmar.

“It’s a challenge which requires an action by civil society, government and tech companies.”
The decision by WhatsApp is a likely a trickle-down from parent company Facebook , which has repeatedly been hit with criticism for its role in the dissemination of fake news.

One of the most serious instances was the perpetuation of the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar.
Facebook has been used to spread propaganda against the Rohingya people that has led to killings.
