Wizkid Declares Himself Number 1 Amid Afrobeat Top Three Controversy

Popular Nigerian musician Wizkid has proclaimed himself the leading Afrobeat artist in Nigeria.

The singer made the bold declaration amid the ongoing controversy about Nigeria’s “Top 3” singer.

Recall that the popular ‘Big 3’ term is used to refer to Davido, Wizkid and Burna Boy who are celebrated as the country’s most dominant global musical exports.

However, breaking his silence amid the social debate, Wizkid in a post on his Instagram story, declared himself the top artiste in the Nigeria music industry.

“Type sht. Big Wiz. Number 1″, Wizkid wrote on a whiteboard.

The post has ignited fans debate about who reign supreme in the industry.

Wizkid’s declaration came a month after the famous Nigerian songstress, Tiwa Savage reacted to singer Tems exclusion from “Afrobeat Big 3“.

While questioning the criteria used for the selection, Tiwa said, “I feel like it’s unfair to have conversation about the Top 3 and not mention Tems”.
