Also include Tiwa Savage in the big 4 to represent the ladies. Tekno was the best dancer but Zlatan and Poco Lee now came out.

Olamide Badoo is in a world of it's own, he is not competing with ANYONE!

Tuale Olamide ✋️ 🤚 🙋‍♂️
Olamide was like Hazard, he had the potential to compete with the big 3 of Messi, Neymar and Ronaldo. But was just contented with being himself and under their shadow

@MANNABBQGRlLLS
I think I will agree with you on this.

Since PSquare disappeared, Kiss Daniel is my own number One.

cool

I have many of psquare songs on my Playlist than all the big3 mentioned combined.

Nothing like big 3, only Burna boy sings sensible songs, they are just the most popular

Psquare how 😂😂
With nursery rhymes

Different eras, those ones has made their mark already. 2baba is already a legend, his songs are evergreen and I still listen to his album.

It's an insult to include psquare in that list.Psquare were Ballon d'or winners in their time.2face, psquare,d'banj belong to the same era

Re: Legends Who Could've Been The Big 3 Beyond Wizkid, Davido, And Burna Boy by Kalulu44: 12:32pm On Feb 13
Hmm.... Nice list and analysis.
You see eh! PSquare was never them Wizkid and co mates nor their generation.
PSquare when they peak was in the big 3 alongside Dbanj and Tuface.
Noticed this 3 are still singing till now but they have make way for the current big 3.
.
Then for the current ones who are supposed to have vie for the position of the big 3 with Wizkid, Davido and Burna. They just felt within themselves that there's nothing they can do to surpass those 3. And fans too didn't help matters by constantly drumming it to whoever cares to listen that it's those 3 or none.
Wizkid hasn't done anything meaningful music wise in the last few years but that already made fame and fanbase will always push him to be there.
Just like in the Fuji genre, no matter what you sing, you can't surpass the big 3 of KWAM 1, Pasuma and Osupa in the eyes of music fans.

I once heard someone said if KWAM 1 likes just record kpangolo, he will still buy the album.
Now back to the main big 3, these 2 people ought to have contested with them, Olamide and Kizz. But they're like Eden Hazard and Neymar who had the potential to challenge Messi and Ronaldo but were too comfortable in their comfort zone and felt there's nothing they can do to surpass those two.
And when they eventually had the balls to go the extra mile and challenge them, injuries came and destroy everything.
This is the case of Olamide and Kizz in my own opinion.
And without mincing words, my current best Naija artist is Kizz Daniel.
I have almost all his tracks which are singable on my phone.
In contrast to Wizkid who I have only his "holla at your boy" song on my phone

P square were the best in their time and era... reigning during the year 2000s upwards...no musicians can reign forever.. and can be there for ever.. they will be a time you will stop reigning..but your music and legacy will not be forgotten
Re: Legends Who Could've Been The Big 3 Beyond Wizkid, Davido, And Burna Boy by Sandralight(f): 12:38pm On Feb 13
To me the big 3 now is

1) Rema
2) Asake
3) Firefox
Re: Legends Who Could've Been The Big 3 Beyond Wizkid, Davido, And Burna Boy by FutureFocus:
I used to like Wizkid in those days when his songs were meaningful , recently I’ve lost interest but I’ll still listen to his old music and pause just after Essence

azpekuliar:
Only the P-Square duo qualifies.
Psquare, Dbanj and 2face were the bog 3 between 2006 and 2013 ... Rema , kizz Daniel and Asake suppose be the new big 3 today

Artists like Tekno , Runtown and fireboy missed out

This op don ment, psquare, 2face and dbanj were the big three of their era. Biz wiz, Davido and olamide replaced them, till burna boy came and replaced olamide now asake has come to replace davido.
Asake has replaced wizkid...wizkid is still living on past glory ...only due to davido still de hot and the decade long comparison between them...if not...wizkid wud have been in the box of the relics like olamide and Tekno

Is Kizz Daniel, Wande Coal and MI a joke to you?

Mind you, there was a time when the Big 3 were Wizkid, Olamide and Davido. We are talking about 2013-2016.

@MANNABBQGRlLLS
Next time, the order of arrangement should be ; Burna Boy, Davido, WizKid.

There's no way you're putting WizKid before Biurna Boy and Davido even though am not a fan of Davido.
