Nigerian artist, songwriter, and record producer Burna Boy rose to fame on social media by declaring that he is one of only two people who can compete with the "big 3."Continue Reading..
At a concert, the performer was heard singing one of his new songs when he suddenly stopped to address his listeners.
"The next time somebody tells you about anything called the 'big 3', tell them there's only the 'big 2' and then, there's Burna Boy," he was recorded adding.
Though the singer's reference to "the big two" is ambiguous, many have surmised that he was talking to Wizkid and Davido, and that Burna Boy isn't in the same league or category as them, so there's only the big two and Burna Boy.
But his statement has gone viral on social media, with a lot of people commenting on the post and offering their opinions.
