Fela Kuti is only African artist greater than me – Burna Boy

Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy (Damini Ogulu) recently asserted that the Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Kuti, is the only African artist greater than him.




He made the bold claim during a live conversation with popular Australian streamer, 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 'Last Last' singer' confident statement sparked varied reactions, with many critics suggesting it was a bit over the top or too ambitious.

While Burna Boy is undoubtedly one of Africa's biggest artists right now, the ranking of the greatest African musicians in history is still a matter of much debate.
