The conversation started after 2Baba, a respected music veteran, shared his opinion on Burna Boy’s international rise during a recent interview.
According to him, Burna Boy has surpassed both Wizkid and Davido when it comes to global growth.
His statement didn’t sit quietly for long, as fans quickly picked sides and pushed the discussion across social media platforms.
Not long after the comment went viral, Wizkid reacted publicly via Snapchat. The Grammy-winning singer fired back with a sharp remark, suggesting that 2Baba should focus on resolving personal family matters before sharing opinions about music.
Wizkid also made it clear that he had no plans to stay silent in 2026, a statement that further fueled online reactions.
As expected, Wizkid’s response sent social media into a frenzy. Hashtags such as #Wizkid, #2Baba, and #BurnaBoy trended as fans, critics, and music lovers shared their views. Memes flooded timelines, while debates about who truly leads Afrobeats on the global stage dominated conversations.
Music industry observers say the exchange highlights the ongoing rivalry among Nigeria’s top Afrobeats stars.
Beyond fan wars, analysts have been breaking down each artist’s achievements, influence, and international reach, making this one of the most talked-about music discussions of the year.
Whether seen as a clash of opinions or a reflection of Afrobeats’ global growth, the moment has once again proven the genre’s power to spark worldwide conversations — and keep Nigerian music firmly in the global spotlight.
