“Davido and Wizkid’s journey has come to an end; I provided them with a seven-year head start,” says Burnaboy in a video.
Grammy-Award-winning Nigerian singer Burnaboy recently stated that it’s the end of the road for Davido and Wizkid in a statement that surfaced online.
This revelation came during an interview following the release of his seventh studio album, “I Told Them.” Burnaboy had previously expressed his views on the genre of Afrobeats, suggesting it lacks substance.
Burnaboy explained that he allowed Wizkid, Davido, and other artists a seven-year head start to shine because he was initially confined to Africa and couldn’t step out to the UK. However, when he finally made it to the UK in 2016, he believed it was game over for the superstars who were in the spotlight at that time.

“Portable – Let’s Promote Afrobeats and Leave Amapiano for South Africans”
“Portable Urges Nigerian Artists to Prioritize Afrobeats Over Amapiano After Grammy Outcome”
In response to South African singer Tyla’s Grammy win over Nigerian artists like Burna Boy and Davido, controversial artiste Habeeb Okikiola, known as Portable, advises Nigerian musicians to focus on promoting Afrobeats instead of Amapiano. Portable emphasized the importance of valuing Nigeria’s genre and suggested that sticking to Afrobeats would enhance Nigeria’s chances of winning international awards. He referenced the evolution of music styles, mentioning the prevalence of shaku shaku before the emergence of Amapiano. Portable asserted that Amapiano belongs to South Africans and cautioned that pursuing it wouldn’t lead Nigerians to Grammy success.
Some comments from social media users:
@lappoosky: “Even when Tyla won the award, they still played a Fela song.”
@Macy_Macy0: “After South Africa and Nigeria play, then we’ll decide this one.”
@Mahasmaan: “Brother, unlike Nigerians, South Africans don’t try to claim or imitate Afrobeats, we consume them raw. Nigerians are suffering from main character syndrome, you wouldn’t stand watching an SA genre shine!”
Here are some additional comments:
@HappinessUgboma: “It’s true what Portable said. We don’t value our Afrobeats, yet we want to use it to win a Grammy. It’s impossible. But when we use our own, it will go a long way and stand tall.”
@MaziLeeTweets: “I’ve been suggesting this: let’s leave Amapiano to them and focus on our Afrobeats. Nigerian producers should return to the drawing board and create fresh, distinctive sounds. I have confidence in SARS on this matter.”
@Sami011y: “The funny part is Amapiano isn’t the popular genre in SA. House music is more popular than Amapiano. Amapiano was just a smoke screen to generate attention for SA music! West Africans must stick to our Afrobeats because we sound very funny doing Amapiano!”
