Wizkid has gained so much international attention in the past year – especially with his recent collaboration with Canadian recording artiste, Drake.
However, there is a debate making the rounds on social media on whether the former E.M.E artiste is indeed the biggest act out of Nigeria.
While some are convinced the Starboy is the greatest artiste out of Africa, others have vehemently opposed the idea as they feel he hasn’t done enough to measure up or be greater than other music greats such as D’banj who was once signed to Kanye West’s G.O.O.D music, 2Baba, King Sunny Ade and the late Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
Here’s what they are saying.
Team Wizkid
So Wizzybabybabanla just entered the American music scene without any struggle? Makes me feel bad for Dbanj. Threw so much away for nothing.

Tuface is great and all that, but Wizkid is on another level. A level, Tuface wished he attained.

Wizkid makes better music and is more talented than Davido… In my opinion. And it's quite clear

At this point I'd agree that Wizkid has surpassed D'banj as Nigeria's biggest global star.

Watch other international acts feature wizkid on their projects and pay him for his talent… Not the other way round.

Is like some of you are sick.
One nice track or album, you'll be comparing the likes of Davido and wizkid to FELA.

Wizkid is like a moving train at full speed. One day it may get to the station where 2face and Asa is.

Sorry, Wizkid is not the biggest artist Africa has ever produced. Fela and Youssou N'dour were much bigger.

Saying wizkid is better dan oda nigerian artists is arguably true, bt comparing him to Fela is somehw disrespectful 2 African music industry

Retweeted JES (@Last_Ranebow):
Mental slavery is when you compare Wizkid to Fela.

Dbanj had Snoop on Mr endowed rmx, got signed to Good Music, brought Big Sean, PushaT & Idris Elba 4 Koko Concert. Dont compare him 2 Wizkid
— Jamie (@KingJamez_) April 29, 2016
Don't forget Dbanj and Kanye West
— I mistakenly (@subomifasakin) April 29, 2016
The fact that 2face and dbanj didn't win Grammy's don't mean shii.
Please respect them!
They are not ur mates .— Abiola Agboola (@skheegs) April 29, 2016
Wizkid and Davido cant downplay 2baba and Dbanj heroics, the way you "fanboys" do on this platform
