‘I’m the best’ – Wizkid sparks fresh supremacy battle with Burna Boy
Wizkid and Burna Boy Engage in Friendly Rivalry at Afronation Concert
Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Wizkid has reignited competition with fellow musician Burna Boy following comments made during his performance at the Afronation concert in Portugal. Wizkid implied that his closing act at the festival was a mark of superiority over Burna Boy, who headlined the opening day, stating that he was chosen for the finale because he is “the best.”
Social media reaction has been considerable, with many of Burna Boy’s fans asserting his star power. They contend that his position as the opening day headliner reflects his greater appeal compared to Wizkid and other artists slated for the festival.
Wizkid addressed the audience during his set on Sunday, declaring, “Big Wiz is here. This is why you save the best for the last, baby.” This comment has since garnered attention online, being interpreted as a direct response to discussions regarding the performance lineup of the two artists.
The rivalry comes in the wake of a fallout between Wizkid and Burna Boy several months ago, which began after a public incident involving Burna Boy and Wizkid’s official DJ, DJ Tunez, at a nightclub in Lagos.
