Wizkid Blasts 2Baba for Favoring Burna Boy in Music Debate

Nigerian afrobeat singer Wizkid publicly criticized his senior colleague 2Baba for expressing a preference for Burna Boy over him in terms of global recognition. This incident arose during a recent interview conducted by Seun Okinbaloye, where 2Baba shared his thoughts on the popular "big 3" of Nigerian music, which includes Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.

The discussion centered on the dominance of these artists in the global music industry. In response to 2Baba's comments, Wizkid took to Snapchat, referring to 2Baba as an "old man" and suggested that he should focus on maintaining peace within his family before offering opinions on music.

Wizkid emphasized that he would not tolerate disrespect and mentioned that he would "slack" until 2026, indicating a desire for family harmony before engaging in musical debates. This incident highlights the competitive nature of the Nigerian music scene and the dynamics between its leading artists.
