D’banj Ignites Online Debate After Naming Top Three Nigerian Artists
Veteran Nigerian singer D’banj has sparked intense online reactions after naming his top three Nigerian artists in a recent interview – notably excluding Grammy-winning star Wizkid.
During an appearance on Adesope Live, D’banj, popularly known as the Koko Master, listed Rema, Davido, and Burna Boy as his current favourites. He praised Rema for his vibrant energy, described Davido as a tireless force who remains humble despite his fame, and lauded Burna Boy’s intentional artistry and powerful stage performances.
While many fans celebrated the recognition given to the three artists, others were quick to notice Wizkid’s absence from the list. The omission triggered a wave of social media debate, with some users questioning the criteria behind D’banj’s choices and others defending his personal preferences.
D’banj’s remarks have reignited ongoing discussions about the hierarchy of Nigeria’s music heavyweights and how industry veterans view the evolving landscape.
