Grammy-winning Nigerian Afrobeat singer, Damini Ogulu, well known as Burna Boy, has made a claim that the Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Kuti, is the only African artiste greater than him.
Burna made this declaration during a recent livestream with popular Australian streamer, Playboymax.
“He [Fala Kuti] is the king. He is the only one [African artist] who is greater than me. He is the only one,” Burna Boy boasted.
The ‘Last Last’ crooner’s bold claim elicited mixed reactions, with many saying it was overreaching.
While Burna Boy is currently one of the biggest artist in African, the hierarchy of the of the greatest African artists in history remains a debate.
