At a recent birthday celebration for Davido’s daughter, Imade, an unexpected musical twist became the highlight of the event, and not for the reasons anyone anticipated.
The party, held in grand style, was everything you’d expect from a celebrity celebration: extravagant décor, playful energy, and a guest list packed with socialites, influencers, and close family friends. It was a moment of joy, all smiles and sparkle, until the DJ made a move that had jaws dropping and phones coming out.
DJ Switch Flips the Vibe
As the vibe built up with Afrobeats hits, DJ Switch, who was in charge of the turntables, made a sharp pivot that caught everyone off guard. In the middle of a string of Davido bangers, she suddenly transitioned into Burna Boy’s global smash hit “Last Last.”
This wasn’t just any song. “Last Last” is an anthem, yes, but it also carries heavy baggage considering the long-standing, often publicized beef between Davido and Burna Boy. The switch-up was abrupt, almost surgical. One moment it was “Unavailable”, and the next moment, the unmistakable guitar riff from “Last Last” took over the speakers.
Davido’s Face Says It All
The crowd’s reaction was immediate. Gasps, laughs, and a few side-eyes rippled through the venue. A handful of guests looked around nervously, unsure whether to keep dancing or pause out of respect. Others, particularly the younger crowd, whipped out their phones to record the moment. Everyone knew they had just witnessed something they’d be tweeting about before dessert was served.
And Davido? He didn’t say a word. But his face said it all.
From someone who was all smiles and posing for photos just minutes before, his expression shifted into something far more stone-cold. Eyewitnesses say he raised an eyebrow, turned slightly toward the DJ booth, and then simply walked away from the center of the action, leaving behind a bubble of awkward silence.
Some guests tried to brush it off, acting like nothing happened, while others, more attuned to the drama, couldn’t help but share a few whispers and side comments. If it was a mistake, it was a huge one. If it was intentional? It was bold, shady, and arguably legendary.
Social Media Runs Wild with The Footage
It didn’t take long for the entire episode to hit social media. Clips from the party started flooding TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter within hours. Fans were quick to dissect the moment, sharing their opinions in comment sections and quote tweets.

Some praised DJ Switch for what they saw as a daring move, applauding her boldness and sense of humor. Others weren’t so forgiving, calling the song choice inappropriate and ill-timed. The incident became the center of online gossip, reigniting the ongoing debate about Davido and Burna Boy’s rivalry and how it continues to play out, even during personal celebrations.
The moment may have lasted just a few seconds, but it sparked endless conversations. Whether DJ Switch’s choice was intentional shade or an honest slip remains up for debate. But what’s obvious is that even in moments meant for personal celebration, celebrity rivalries have a way of sneaking in and turning up the heat.
