Afro-fusion star and Grammy Award winner Burna Boy has declared that the late Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti is the only African artist greater than him.
The statement came during a livestream chat with Australian streamer Playboymax, where Burna Boy hailed Fela as “the king” of African music.
“He is the only one who is greater than me,” the ‘Last Last’ crooner said confidently.
Burna Boy’s bold remark has sparked mixed reactions across social media, with some fans praising his self-confidence while others criticized him for arrogance.
Fela Kuti, often regarded as the pioneer of Afrobeat, influenced generations of African artists with his politically charged lyrics and unique sound. Burna Boy has frequently cited Fela as a major inspiration in his career.
