Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has made a bold statement about the country’s biggest music stars, insisting that the widely recognised “Big 3″ should instead be regarded as the”Big 2”, with himself in separate category, declaring that he should be regarded separately from the other two.
The Grammy-winning singer made the statement while asserting his position among Nigeria’s biggest music stars. Burna Boy said:
In his words, he said “Next time anybody tells you about the “Big 3″, tell them there’s only the ‘Big 2’, and then there’s BURNA BOY”.
His statement reflects Burna Boy’s confidence in his status and influence within the Nigerian and global music industry.
His comments is expected to reignite the long-running debate among Nigerian music fans over the country’s “Big 3” and the hierarchy of its leading Afrobeats artists.
The debate has frequently centered on Burna Boy, Davido and Wizkid, who have all achieved major international recognition.
