Olamide Baddo Names Wizkid as the Greatest Afrobeats Artist After Fela Kuti

Ace Nigerian rapper Olamide has hailed Grammy-winning singer Wizkid as the greatest Afrobeats artist after the late pioneer, Fela Kuti.

Baddo, as he is popularly known, made the statement while reflecting on his multiple collaborations with Wizkid during a recent press conference in Canada.

“I am blessed to have collaborated with Wizkid on multiple occasions. You know, Wizkid is the greatest Afrobeats artist ever after Fela,” Olamide said.

He further explained that his work with Wizkid goes beyond professional leverage, highlighting that their collaborations thrive on musical harmony and chemistry.

Olamide’s bold claim has since ignited a debate on social media, with fans weighing in on the question of who truly holds the title of the greatest Afrobeats artist.

Previously, Nigerian superstar Burna Boy had declared himself the greatest African artist after Fela, while Davido has consistently referred to himself as the “King of Afrobeats.” The ongoing discussions among fans of Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy show that the debate over the genre’s top artist remains as lively as ever.
