Updates keep asking for password for wrong Apple ID

Hi,

On my iphone 6 running iOS9 i was using account X (authorised for Danish store) then i needed an app from US App Store so i logged out user X and logged in with user Y (a user i have for US app store), installed the app, then logged back into X and now 90% updates asks for pass for user X although i have logged out, how do i get rid of that ?

I mean i know by fact that for instance WhatsApp which i have an update for was bought with account X but AppStore asks for password for account Y, how is that possible ? Am i mistaking something here ? How do i fix this ?

The updates will require you signing in with the correct apple id and password used to purchase the particular app

All apps downloaded from the appstore are permanently tied to the ID used to download or purchase them.

The only way to stop them for asking for the account used to download them is to delete them.
