Nigerian rap legend, Olamide, has shed light on his relationship with Afrobeats heavyweights Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.
In an interview with Adesope Live, the YBNL boss revealed that while he maintains a good bond with the trio, he finds them “a bit troublesome.”
According to him, they are all “great guys” but often struggle to align on certain issues, which he considers normal in the industry.
“Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy are my friends, but they can be too troublesome at times. They’re cool dudes; it’s just that sometimes we don’t always align on everything—and that’s fine,” Olamide explained.
Speaking further, the Story For The Gods hitmaker addressed the recurring “Big 3” debate, which consistently names Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy as the leading figures of Afrobeats.
Olamide made it clear that being excluded from such lists does not affect him, noting that his main priority remains creating timeless music for his fans.
