I will give it to Asa because at least she knows what music is and she had made significant impact in the last 2 decades.
I will just sneak Tuface because he hasn't been singing real thought provoking songs in recent years.
The likes of dbanj, olumide, wizkid, David are no legend at all. Some of them don't even know musical notes. They just sing like that. And to crown it all, there songs really has no sensible meanings. You can't be singing about ass and boobs and tell me you are on your way becoming legend except if the meaning as changed.
Two face has been making thought evoking music from day one and even up till now. Have you listened to "holy holy"?

Haha who the hell is thathuh

He remixed Eminem's Stan or what?
He used the soundtrack and then he tried sounding like Eminem. He was screaming, "mummy pray for me, why do you have to go, why why....... If money is all I have to bring you back....... Why, please pray for me, in afternoon I will pray for you...... Bla bla".
The song is so lame and a huge insult to Eminem and Dido's effort.
The guy (Sky B)reign then oo.

Factfinder1:
Nobody to me....I give it to ASA who knows what good music really is and who can sign with live band without the use of studio filters and auto tune...the rest are noise makers....even 2face is claiming one legend dat I don't really understand
2face is more of a legend than Asa, how many hits songs does she have. Do you know any music legend in the world that doesn't have atleast 10 to 15 hits.2face also performs good on live band.

Before u think I'm a wizkid fan (because thats what u all do), no I'm not. But Davido has really not done anything worthy of legendary status. He is popular, has worked with a good number of foreign artistes, etc, but he is not a legend. Its like placing jay z on a Michael Jackson pedestal.
all the above you listed wizkid also did the same, so what makes wizkid a legend and doesn't make davido one?

Wizkid has broken boundaries beyond the shores of Africa.
He has been nominated (even won) awards from his collaboration with Drake.
Many foreign artistes have featured him on their tracks (not the other way round), some have had him grace their tours.
He co-wrote Drake's "One Dance".
He is the only contemporary Nigerian artiste whose name is a force to reckon with in the international sphere.
He is one of the youngsters placing Africa on the global entertainment map.

Davido hasn't done anything to be classified a legend.
Less I forget, the other day a foreign TV host lashed out at foreign artistes "stealing wizkid's tune". If that doesn't say a lot about how far his name and popularity has reached, I don't know what will.
There are several other things but I cant be bothered to keep up with them.
I dont like Wizkid but you gotta admit dude has done really well for himself.

P.S: I think Davido makes greater hits than Wizkid but unfortunately he is not (in my opinion) a legend.
