Meaning of Who Dey Breet Slang
“Who dey breet” slang does not have a particular meaning. Even those who have given explanations to it admitted that it cannot be pinned to one particular meaning.

Who Dey Breet Slang” Meaning and the Originator
The number one meaning of who dey breet slang could be “Who is showing off” or who is bragging there? Remember I said Davido used it when Wizkid and Burna Boy won Grammy awards. He made it 2 hours after the award. It could be as a result of what the duo said while receiving the award. I mean, their appreciation speech.
Or, has Burna Boy reconciled with Davido?
You can imagine what the shows would be for the guys when they left the award hall. Davido had possibly perceived them showing off somewhere and made the comment.
The slang; “who dey breet could also have the literal or sentential meaning which is; “who is breathing”. If you have seen people invited to talk over the microphone after receiving surprising awards, you will notice the speech always follows hot or loud breathing. This hot breath is most times attributed to tension.
On the other hand, the originator of the slang may be mocking Wizkid and Burna Boy. Their too much show-off during the award might have compelled Davido to use the slang “who dey breet?” meaning who is showing off? Who is bragging?
Currently, people use this slang for this purpose; to humble any bragger. Or to quieting someone who is showing off success.
For example, in one of the groups for Bloggers and Writers, any time anyone shows off his or her massive earnings. it will be followed with the slang; “who dey breet”? And other people will respond, I wonder oo.
It is, therefore, appropriate to say that “Who dey breet” slang is now used as attacking words. It is now used for shamming or humiliating purposes.
