A podcast host gains widespread attention with a video arguing that Burna Boy shouldn’t be compared to Wizkid and Davido but should instead be considered on the same level as Michael Jackson.
The host contends that Burna Boy’s exceptional talent warrants avoiding comparisons with fellow Nigerian musicians like Wizkid and Davido.
Instead, the host suggests placing Burna Boy in the same league as the legendary Michael Jackson.
In the podcast, the host asserted that Burna Boy’s musical talent distinguishes him from the widely recognized “big three” – Wizkid, Davido, and even Burna Boy himself.
The host further clarified that Burna Boy’s extraordinary abilities make him unique, suggesting that a comparison with global icons like Michael Jackson is more fitting.
The controversy arises from Burna Boy’s own declaration during a previous performance, where he distanced himself from the “big three,” emphasizing only the “big two” (referring to Davido and Wizkid) and asserting his position in a separate league.
This statement implies Burna Boy’s belief in his superiority over fellow musicians.
Reiterating this viewpoint, the podcast host asserted that Burna Boy’s musical trajectory had outpaced that of Wizkid and Davido.
Furthermore, the host stressed the importance of recognizing Burna Boy’s distinctive contributions to the industry instead of categorizing him with his peers.
In a recent podcast episode, a Nigerian individual disclosed that Burna Boy only gained prominence around 2020.
He conveyed that before Burna Boy’s ascent to fame, the music scene was predominantly influenced by Davido and Wizkid, leading to the belief that they would continue to dominate the industry.
