Self-acclaimed African Giant and Grammy nominee, Burna Boy is currently under attack on social media for declaring himself as the ‘best’ musician.
The singer made this remark in a round of tweets on Twitter in which he stated that no one paved way for him and he is best thing to happen to the music industry after Fela Kuti.
In his words;
“FACT! I always knew I was and I am THE BEST. Everyone you think is the best KNOWS I’m BEST since Fela Kuti. But @timayatimaya told me something a long time ago that made me not care about being the best. “The World can do without the Best” the world will still spin regardless.
Lol. NOBODY paved shit for me. Everybody dey find them own. I bin Out here, if you knew the way they made us look weak by begging and paying the western world to like us you will see that no table was set and I’m the one that brought you the Respect you currently enjoy.”

Wizkid spent almost 4 months in the US last year. Making good music with the powerhouses of Hollywood.
Davido also have been consistent matching records set by the likes of 2face, Psquare and D’banj.
Now we have Burna Boy(Van Dijk) “ 2 season wonder” who thinks he is the Best!

Immediately we finished hyping his sold out concert, spirit of sise sise just entered Burna Boy. He has been acting like a possessed dude ever since then. Trash talking as if he fell from heaven. Have you ever seen a king ruled forever? Only God Almighty is infallible. Calm down!

No one is talking about Don Jazzy , Reminisce, Olamide , No one is talking about Psquare , Dbanj , Davido , Banky W , Wizkid , Simi etc
These are the people that built the Nigerian music industry for me & have been consistent , I was stanning Burna on something else entirely .

Burna didn’t win the Grammy and we got this, imagine the uproar if he’d won it.
He’d have gone to Fela’s shrine, woke the Legend and told him to bow his decomposed body before him. ????

Wow!!! So Burna boy believes he "brought us the respect that we are enjoying".
Wizkid,Olamide and Davido and co remained consistent for a decade and neither of them are declaring they are the best.
Any man who must say, "I am the King", is no true king.
