Shaffy Bello says Wizkid, Davido, Burna match Fela’s status

Actress Shaffy Bello has said Nigerian stars Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy have reached the same level of international recognition as Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

Seyi Sodimu says Davido could win governorship over Burna Boy

Singer Seyi Sodimu has compared the influence of Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy, saying each member of the Afrobeats Big 3 holds a different kind of power. He described Burna Boy as having conquered the stage musically, called Wizkid special, and said Davido’s influence goes far beyond music.​ Speaking on the podcast What I Know, Sodimu argued that Davido’s popularity could be strong enough to win a governorship election.

Sampling Fela music doesn’t make you him – Seun Kuti

Afrobeats singer Seun Kuti has cautioned Nigerian artists against calling themselves the “New Fela”, insisting that sampling or remixing his late father’s music does not make them equivalent to the Afrobeat legend. Speaking on the Hits Don’t Lie podcast, he said while some have done good samples of Fela’s songs, it is “crazy” for anyone to claim they are his dad simply because they use his sound.​ Seun pointed to big Nigerian stars like Wizkid and Burna Boy, who have sampled Fela, noting that this trend of declaring oneself a new version of a late icon seems peculiar to Nigeria. He questioned why nobody refers to themselves as “the new Bob Marley” elsewhere, arguing that such labels show how “wild” things can get in the Nigerian music scene.​ He stressed that Fela was not just about music but about activism, […]
