Nigerian music sensation, Burna Boy, stirred up a social media frenzy during a live performance as he confidently asserted that there's no such thing as the 'big 3,' only the 'big 2'—referring to himself in a league separate from others.
In the midst of a concert, the acclaimed singer paused to address his fans, declaring, "Next time anybody tells you about anything called the 'big 3,' tell them there's only the 'big 2' and then, there's Burna Boy."
While Burna Boy did not explicitly name the 'big 2,' speculations abound that he was referring to Wizkid and Davido as the prominent figures, thereby establishing himself as a solo entity outside the 'big 3.'
The statement has ignited discussions on social media, with users expressing diverse opinions and interpretations of Burna Boy's declaration.
Selected reactions:
@Big7Record: "Facts, man. It's a Wizkid vs. Davido. Burna is in a whole different league."
@realtimmywrld: "Davido is 001, Wizkid is 002, Olamide is 003. You are not even among the big 3; keep your 004 and rest."
@_Tri_stan: "Like.... I keep saying this. All these people fighting for owe owe one title in Naija can have it. We don’t roll on that level... we global... on a different wave."
@AbiolaAbdul: "His whole existence has been about the competition. He has touched the global level yet still feels insecure or defeated. I sympathize with him."
@Tinarerelaw1234: "He has told people before, and people can clearly see he’s in his own league, but I'm glad he gave this message. Dats my best friend."
@diamonddemola: "He’s not even big two, he’s a third force! Let him continue to denigrate his people for validations; we still love Wizzy and David more than him. It’s not just about good music; it’s also about impact and how you are perceived at home. Burna too dey find enemies where there’s none."
@AfrobeatDon2: "Nothing like Big 3 or Big 2. There is only one Big 1, and his name is Kizz Daniel, the true king of Afrobeats. While the others live off hypes and stunt, everyone knows Kizz Daniel for his music and music only."
