Nigerian star Burna Boy who claims he always knew he was the best since Fela Kuti on Twitter has caused an online stir, reacting to a user who claims he came in when the table of afrobeat was set already.
The singer took to his page to announce he knows for a fact that he is the best after Fela and that no doubt he has been paving the way for afrobeat but some Twitter users disagree with this comment as one user called JezzyOfficial replied Burna Boy asking where he has been since 2010-2018 because back then afrobeat was still struggling to hit the mainstream, and he came in only when the table was set already which was easy for him to be where he is now.
The statement did not go well with Burna Boy as he believes the global recognition he is getting is due to his hard work and no one helped him and that he begged people and the enjoyment he is getting was brought by him.

A few users agree with Burna Boy and some mocked him over his Grammy loss and he is not close to Olamide not to talk of others like Wizkid and Davido.

Burna Boy is not as big as Wizkid and Davido
If we want to rank, Burna and Naira Marley are in the same level.
Hold on, i know you will talk about Grammy Nomination now.
Did you know that B.O.B was nominated 4 Grammy in 2011?
Did that make him bigger than T.I or Lil Wayne?

We need more Burnas in the industry!
Fake people, fake industry filled with unhealthy rivalries and bitterness towards another man's success.
No Nigerian artiste has fought for the collective good except Eedris Abdulkareem.
The rest na "all man for himself". Leave Burna!
