TRENDING: Wizkid and I were stars before ‘new cats’ like Burna Boy, Rema, others – Davido

Afrobeats superstar, David Adeleke (Davido) has listed the top artistes that established the Afrobeats genre on the global music scene, stating the likes of Grammy Award winning Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu (Burna Boy) and others were newbies.

The award-winning entertainer shared with Brut Afrique how he and Ayo Balogun (Wizkid) created the Afrobeats global movement.

He also mentioned how other artistes, who he called ‘new cats,’ such as Burna Boy, Asake, Rema and many others, have been making contributions lately.

“Everybody knows I was one of the first, me and Wizkid, we blew it up. You know what I’m saying,” the ‘Timeless’ maker started.

“Feels good to also see the new cats coming up. You know Burna Boy, Rema, Fireboy, Mayorkun. You know a lot of new cats coming in, killing it; Asake that’s on my album. So yeah, I think the future of Afrobeats is good,” he stated.

Meanwhile, his statement has since sparked reactions on social media with some Burna Boy’s fans calling out Davido for placing the Grammy-award singer in the same bracket with emerging music artistes.
