Nigerian Entertainment News: D’banj Ignites Controversy After Leaving Wizkid Out of His Top 3 Artists
Legendary Nigerian musician D’banj has sparked intense discussion in the world of Nigerian Entertainment News after revealing his current top three music talents—conspicuously excluding Wizkid from the lineup
Speaking in a recent interview on Adesope Live, the Afrobeats trailblazer praised Rema, Davido, and Burna Boy, highlighting their passion, dedication, and stage presence.
“Big ups to Rema. I really admire his energy… Then there’s Davido—people can learn from how he carries himself, like he’s got nothing to lose, yet he stays consistent. Burna Boy is very deliberate; his live performances are top-tier,” D’banj stated.
Although many listeners supported his selection, the absence of Wizkid—an internationally acclaimed artist and Grammy winner—set off a wave of reactions on social media platforms.
Avid followers of Wizkid, known collectively as Wizkid FC, were quick to respond online, expressing their disappointment. Some interpreted D’banj’s remarks as subtle criticism, while others argued it was simply his personal preference.
The remarks have fueled renewed fan rivalries, adding fresh momentum to debates about who truly leads the Afrobeats genre—a topic that remains a focal point in Nigerian Entertainment News.
