Ace Nigerian rapper, Olamide, has claimed that Grammy-winning singer, Wizkid, is the greatest Afrobeats artist after the late pioneer, Fela Kuti.<\/p>\n

Baddo, as he is fondly called, made the claim while relishing his multiple collaborations with Wizkid at a recent press conference in Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am blessed to have collaborated with Wizkid on multiple occasions. You know Wizkid is the greatest Afrobeats artist ever after Fela,\u201d he expressed.<\/p>\n

Olamide explained that his collaboration with Wizkid was beyond leverage, emphasising that it has more to do with their musical harmony.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Olamide\u2019s bold declaration of Wizkid as the greatest Afrobeats artist after Fela has sparked a debate on social media.<\/p>\n

Another Nigerian artist, Burna Boy, had recently declared himself as the greatest African artist after Fela.<\/p>\n

Also, Davido has repeatedly declared himself the \u201cKing of Afrobeats.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans of both Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy have been debating on the topic of the greatest Afrobeats artist since Olamide\u2019s declaration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
