A fiery declaration from Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy echoed through a concert venue last night, igniting a roar from the electrified crowd. In a moment capturing his undeniable confidence and ambition, Burna Boy proclaimed, “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.”
The “big 3” he refers to often sparks debate amongst Afrobeats fans, typically encompassing artists like Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy himself. While their immense individual and collective success on the global stage is undeniable, Burna Boy’s statement boldly positions himself as a singular force transcending any numerical ranking.
This isn’t the first time Burna Boy has expressed his unwavering self-belief. His music pulsates with an infectious self-assuredness, and his live performances are legendary for their high-energy showmanship and captivating stage presence. His Grammy Award win for “Twice As Tall” in 2021 cemented his international impact, further solidifying his claim to stardom.
