Tension as D’Banj lists top three artistes, excludes Wizkid

Veteran Nigerian singer D’banj has ignited a heated conversation online after revealing his current top three music stars, excluding the global Afrobeats sensation Wizkid.

Speaking during an appearance on the Adesope Live podcast, the music icon was asked to list the three artistes he is currently listening to.

Without holding back, the Koko Master hailed Rema, Davido, and Burna Boy, praising their artistry, dedication, and stage presence.

“Shout out to Rema. I like his energy… Then there is Davido. People should learn from the way he carries himself, like he doesn’t have a penny, yet he’s so consistent. Burna Boy is too intentional, his live shows are amazing,” D’banj remarked.

While many fans applauded his picks, the omission of Wizkid, a Grammy winner and one of Nigeria’s most influential music exports, sparked sharp reactions across social media, with many accusing D’banj and the show’s host, Adesope Olajide, of bias.
