Wizkid Shades 2baba Over Burna Boy Comparison by alphonsojidebab(op): 6:12am On Feb 10

Nigerian music star Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has reacted strongly to comments made by veteran singer Innocent Idibia (2Baba) regarding the global standing of Afrobeats star Burna Boy.

The exchange has sparked intense reactions online, with fans debating the rankings and influence of Nigeria’s biggest music exports. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

During a recent interview, 2Baba described Burna Boy as being ahead of both Wizkid and Davido in terms of international growth and global recognition.

According to him, “Burna Boy is ahead of Wizkid and Davido when it comes to global growth.”

The remark quickly gained traction on social media, dividing opinions among fans of the three artistes and igniting fresh conversations about Afrobeats dominance on the world stage.

Reacting to the statement, Wizkid took to his Snapchat account, where he appeared to throw a subtle but pointed jab at the veteran singer.

He wrote:
“At least make peace with your family first before having opinions about music. Old man, I’m never letting it slack in 2026.”

The post immediately went viral, triggering widespread reactions across platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook.

While some fans applauded Wizkid for defending his legacy and global impact, others criticized the tone of his response, calling for respect toward 2Baba, who is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of modern Nigerian music.

The incident has once again highlighted the passionate nature of Afrobeats fandoms and the ongoing debate over who truly leads Nigeria’s global music movement.

As of the time of filing this report, neither 2Baba nor Burna Boy has issued a response to Wizkid’s remarks.

I think this boy is still suffering from the poverty that he escaped tru music. He is rich already but still poor mentally.

Even after massive exposure and money, WizKid still has his Ojuelegba gutter behaviour. Apparently, it's because of the Kid in his name. Money doesn't buy common sense!

Let's call a spade a spade, I'm not a FC but 2baba is wrong here, elders we know don't come out that blunt, they do things with wisdom even if they know. 2baba shouldn't have involved himself in this kind of messy issue he knew could drag him and place him in the hands of GenZs that don't care who you are. This isn't over yet

Some truths hurt at times. Wizzy is painted by the truth 2baba said. But, come on, that's a legend you are trying to shade which even your FC won't take it funny.

Tuface is an eediot for that public comparison.

Davido will never respond to him.

But, it's good those who want to respond do so and in the harshest tone.

Madam tuface wey Mu-Mu.

Wiz be behaving like a kid for a long time now undecided

, he's dissed (the ones I can remember) Davido, Psquare, Fela, 2face now. And the funny part is that, someone like that kid don't even have power or strength to fight, but because he knows he's protected, hence the misbehaviour. How I really wished we had a particular boxing ring, where whatever you say or feel you can do is carried out, we won't have been seeing all these cho cho cho every now and then..

So STFU wizkid and keep your shoulders down angry

Tuface really messed up answering that question as who is the biggest among the thrio, he should have avoided or rather say the three of them are doing well for themselves instead of saying Burna is the best, he will end up been dragged, Davido go biff am same as wiz. He was not matured on how he answered that question.
He should have left those kind of reply for the street
