Davido, who disclosed this during an interview with Brut Afrique, said he was excited to see “new cats” such as Burna Boy, Rema, Fireboy, Mayorkun and Asake now making remarkable strides in the music industry.
The singer said he is optimistic about the future of Afrobeat, expressing confidence that the genre is in good hands with the new wave of talented artists.
He said, “Wizkid and I were the first young artists to blow up and it feels good seeing new cats like Burna Boy, Rema, Fireboy, Mayorkun, you know a lot of new cats coming, killing it…Asake who was on my album. So, yes, I think the future of Afrobeat is in good hands.”
The statement made by Davido has generated diverse reactions on social media, with some fans of Burna Boy expressing their disagreement, as they believe the Grammy-winning artist should not be compared to emerging musicians.
