“Fela Kuti is the only African artist greater than me” — Burna Boy brags

Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Burna Boy, has declared that Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti is the only African artist greater than him.

The ‘final final’ hitmaker made the assertion in the course of a livestream chat with Australian streamer, Playboymax, in which he referred to Fela as “the king.”

“He [Fela Kuti] is the king. he is the only one [African artist] who is extra than me. he is the only one,” Burna Boy stated hopefully.

His statement has due to the fact that sparked blended reactions on-line — even as a few lovers praised his self belief and mentioned Fela’s impact on current Afrobeat, others criticised the self-acclaimed African large for what they referred to as “pleasure disguised as respect.”
