Burna Boy, a Nigerian musician, songwriter, and record producer, gained notoriety on social media after he asserted that there are only two people who are as good as the “big 3” and that he is the other.
The artist abruptly paused to speak to his fans after being heard singing one of his new songs during a concert.
Although it’s unclear to whom the singer was referring when he said “the big two,” many have speculated that he meant Wizkid and Davido, and that since Burna Boy isn’t in the same league as them or in their category, there are just the big two and Burna Boy.
However, his message has gained attention on social media, with many people sharing their thoughts on the post’s comment page.
His words were:
“Next time anybody tells you about anything called the ‘big 3’, tell them there’s only the ‘big 2’ and then, there’s Burna Boy.”
Although Burna Boy’s stance that he is not one of the big three may come out as arrogant, he has truly differentiated himself has the awards to prove it.
As he is nominated in four categories for the 2024 Grammy Awards, Burna Boy will be looking to add to his collection of Grammy awards on February 5, 2024. His four nominations set a record for Nigeria, bringing his career total of nominations to ten, also a record.
