Olamide Calms Backlash After Naming Wizkid Greatest Afrobeats Artiste
Olamide Baddo has found himself at the center of a loud music rivalry after his comment about Wizkid set off a fresh storm among fans.
The Nigerian rapper named Wizkid the greatest Afrobeats artiste after Fela Kuti, sparking strong reactions from Burna Boy and Davido loyals.
The argument spread quickly across social platforms as fans took sides and compared the three artistes.
Some felt Olamide’s ranking was unfair, while others backed him with equal energy.
The clash kept growing as more people joined the debate.
Seeing how far things had gone, Olamide stepped in with a message aimed at calming the situation.
He told fans that everyone has the right to think differently about artistes and that such views should not lead to fights.
He also reminded people that the music space is big enough for all the top stars without constant competition.
Olamide added that Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid have built strong careers because they concentrate on progress, not drama.
According to him, these artistes are too focused on their goals to worry about people’s comments and opinions.
However, one thing to remember is that Burna, David, and Wiz are not narrow-minded enough to get offended by someone else’s opinion or perspective. That’s part of why they have reached where they are today.
His statement shifted the mood slightly, with some fans easing off the heated exchanges.
Even so, the discussion about who deserves the highest spot continues to keep timelines busy.
