Only Fela Greater Than Me – Burna Boy

Grammy-winning artist, Burna Boy has declared self the second-greatest African musician in history, naming only Fela Kuti as superior.

The assertion came during a casual livestream with Australian influencer Playboymax.

“He [Fala Kuti] is the king. He is the only one [African artist] who is greater than me. He is the only one,” Burna Boy boasted.

The remark drew reactions across social media platforms.

While some praised the singer’s self-assurance, others labeled it an overreach that disregards decades of African musical legacy.
