Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar Burna Boy has stirred conversation online after stating that Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti is the only African artist who surpasses him.
The ‘Last Last’ crooner made the comment during a livestream with Australian streamer Playboymax, where he described Fela as “the king.”
“Fela is the king. He’s the only African artist greater than me. He’s the only one,” Burna Boy asserted.
His bold declaration has since sparked mixed reactions across social media. While some fans applauded his confidence and acknowledged Fela’s undeniable impact on Afrobeat, others criticised what they perceived as “pride masked as respect” from the self-proclaimed African Giant.
