Fela Kuti is only African artist greater than me – Burna Boy
Grammy-winning singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has stirred reactions after declaring that Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, is the only African artist greater than him.
Speaking during a recent livestream with Australian streamer Playboymax, Burna Boy boldly stated, “He [Fela Kuti] is the king. He is the only one [African artist] who is greater than me. He is the only one.”
The remark sparked widespread debate among fans and music lovers, with some applauding his confidence and others calling the statement arrogant.
Burna Boy, who has often credited Fela as a major influence on his music, continues to be one of Africa’s most successful global artists. Still, the conversation about who truly holds the title of Africa’s greatest remains as lively as ever.
