Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido has gone viral following a widely shared interview moment where he was asked to choose between Wizkid and Burna Boy.
What happened During a “Ride Along” interview, Davido was presented with a hypothetical scenario: he, Wizkid, and Burna Boy were all in a bus, and he had to remove one person.
Instead of choosing either of his long-time peers, Davido responded that he would remove himself from the bus.
Why the response went viral The answer quickly gained traction across social media because it avoided fueling the long-standing “Big 3” rivalry narrative in Afrobeats.
Rather than engaging in comparison, Davido’s response was interpreted as a deliberate move to maintain neutrality and respect among the three artists.
The reaction online was largely positive. Many Nigerians described the response as strategic and mature, highlighting it as a rare example of diplomacy in an industry often driven by competition and fan-driven rivalry.
Some users referred to it as a “wise” and “calm” way to handle a provocative question.
Context:
The “Big 3” dynamic Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy are frequently grouped as Nigeria’s leading global music exports, often compared in terms of influence, success, and international reach.
Davido’s decision to remove himself from the equation effectively sidestepped that comparison and reinforced the idea that the three artists can coexist without direct rivalry.
