Ace Nigerian rapper, Olamide, has claimed that Grammy-winning singer, Wizkid, is the greatest Afrobeats artist after the late pioneer, Fela Kuti.
Baddo, as he is fondly called, made the claim while relishing his multiple collaborations with Wizkid at a recent press conference in Canada.
“I am blessed to have collaborated with Wizkid on multiple occasions. You know Wizkid is the greatest Afrobeats artist ever after Fela,” he expressed.
Olamide explained that his collaboration with Wizkid was beyond leverage, emphasising that it has more to do with their musical harmony.
Meanwhile, Olamide’s bold declaration of Wizkid as the greatest Afrobeats artist after Fela has sparked a debate on social media.
Another Nigerian artist, Burna Boy, had recently declared himself as the greatest African artist after Fela.
Also, Davido has repeatedly declared himself the “King of Afrobeats.”
Fans of both Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy have been debating on the topic of the greatest Afrobeats artist since Olamide’s declaration.
