Nigerian music icon David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has made a bold declaration of his individual prominence in the Afrobeats realm, shrugging off comparisons with fellow artists Wizkid and Burna Boy.
In a recent appearance on the prestigious American platform, Sway’s Universe, Davido tackled the widely held notion that he, Wizkid, and Burna Boy collectively represent the apex of Afrobeats globally. When asked by the host whether he considered himself part of the “big 3 Afrobeats artists on the planet,” Davido responded with unwavering confidence, stating, “I am big me,” underscoring his belief in his own significance within the genre.
