Nigerian Afrobeats singer, David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has said he and Wizkid were the first young Nigerian artists to hit stardom.
The singer, however, noted that he was excited to see “new cats” such as Burna Boy, Rema, Fireboy, Mayorkun and Asake now excelling in the music industry.
The 30BG crooner stated this in an interview that went viral on social media on Thursday.

“So, yes, I think the future of Afrobeat is in good hands.”
His statement has since sparked reactions on social media with some Burna Boy’s fans calling out Davido for placing the Grammy-award singer in the same bracket with emerging music artistes.
