The ongoing debate over the stature of Nigerian music stars Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido has sparked fervent discussions among music enthusiasts. Recently, a podcast featured a speaker expressing his views on this musical triangle, igniting widespread conversation.

In a viral video, the speaker contended that Burna Boy, slated to perform at the Grammy Awards, wasn’t on the same level as Wizkid or Davido. He went on to assert that the only comparable figure to the Nigerian star was the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, emphasizing Burna Boy’s exceptional talent that set him apart from his peers.

Burna Boy himself, in a previous performance, distanced himself from being part of any “big three,” referring to the trio of him, Davido, and Wizkid. This statement triggered various reactions, with some finding humor in the speaker’s perspective, while others debated the validity of the comparison to Michael Jackson.

Noteworthy reactions on social media included comments about the speaker’s humor, skepticism about comparing Burna Boy to Michael Jackson, and varying opinions on the hierarchy among the three Nigerian musicians. The ongoing discourse highlights the complexity and subjective nature of assessing the prominence of these artists.

Additionally, it’s important to mention that both Davido and Burna Boy received nominations for the 2024 National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP) Awards. The African Giant, Burna Boy, secured five nominations, closely trailed by Davido with four. The two artists are set to compete in categories such as ‘Outstanding Male Artist,’ ‘Outstanding International Song,’ and ‘Outstanding Duo, Group, or Collaboration.’
