The superstar’s bold social media post ignites a fiery debate among fans over the true king of Afrobeat.
The long-running, friendly debate among Nigerian music fans has a new, official entry from one of its biggest stars. Internationally acclaimed singer Wizkid has boldly declared himself the number one Afrobeat artist in the country, sending waves across social media.
The declaration cuts directly into the popular conversation surrounding Nigeria’s “Big 3″—a term routinely used to group Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy as the nation’s most dominant and globally recognized musical talents. Rather than accepting a shared podium, Wizkid has staked his claim for the sole top spot.
The artist made his position unmistakably clear in a recent Instagram story. Sharing a picture of a whiteboard, he wrote a simple yet powerful message: “Type sht. Big Wiz. Number 1.” The post, which has since expired, left no room for interpretation about where the “Ojuelegba” singer ranks himself.

As expected, the bold statement has set social media ablaze. Fans of all three artists have rushed to defend their favorites and debate the merits of the claim. While Wizkid’s loyal supporters, known as “Wizkid FC,” applauded his supreme confidence, fans of Davido and Burna Boy were quick to counter, arguing for their own artist’s achievements and global impact.
With the conversation now wide open, one thing is certain: the debate over who sits on the Nigerian music throne is more heated than ever.
