Grammy-nominated artiste Burna Boy has taken to social media today to categorically state that he is the best artiste Nigeria have ever produced since Fela. The Grammy award nominee and Ye crooner, Burna boy also went on to declare that he was helped by nobody but broke through the Nigerian music industry all by himself. According to Burna, by his own words, he wrote;
“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”
His post have attracted many twitter user as they lined with their reply to his tweet to analyze his journey in the industry, so went as far as calling him arrogant, proud and had compared him with the likes of Wizkid.
However, Burna had retweeted by replying those bashing him that no body had paved way for him See posts below;

Where Were you since 2010-2018? I mean where the fuck are you when Afrobeat was struggling to hit the mainstream? The BEST paved the way for you. You came In when the table has already been set and here you're claiming the BEST since Fela.????

There was a time mtvbase compared Wizkid and Dbanj.
Wizkid had to stop them himself and remind them how much Dbanj did for the industry.
Burnaboy should take a cue from that.
