Social Media Erupts After Burna Boy–Linked Account Calls Wizkid “The Only Disgrace in the Big 3”

Social Media Explodes After Burna Boy–Linked Account Calls Wizkid “The Only Disgrace in the Big 3”

Nigerian social media was thrown into chaos after a post allegedly made from an account linked to Burna Boy fired a scathing response at fellow music superstar Wizkid, describing him as “the only disgrace in the Big 3.”

The statement, which spread rapidly across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, and online forums, immediately reignited the long-standing and highly sensitive debate surrounding Nigeria’s so-called “Big 3” in music.

What Is the “Big 3” in Nigerian Music?

For over a decade, the term Big 3 has been used by fans and music critics to describe Nigeria’s most dominant global music exports: Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido.

Each of these artists has achieved international recognition, sold out global venues, won major awards, and helped shape Afrobeats into a worldwide movement. However, the ranking and relevance of each artist within the Big 3 has always been a controversial topic among fans.

How the Drama Started

According to online reports, the tension escalated after Wizkid made remarks that many interpreted as dismissive toward music legend 2Baba (2Face Idibia). While Wizkid did not directly name Burna Boy, the comments sparked outrage among fans and industry observers.

Shortly after, a social media account believed to be linked to Burna Boy or his camp posted a sharp response, describing Wizkid as “the only disgrace in the Big 3.”

That single line was enough to set Nigerian social media ablaze.

Social Media Meltdown and Fan Reactions

Within minutes, screenshots of the post began circulating widely. Fans of Burna Boy praised the response as bold and fearless, while Wizkid’s supporters described it as disrespectful and unnecessary.

Hashtags related to Burna Boy, Wizkid, and the Big 3 quickly trended, with thousands of users debating achievements, awards, international recognition, and personal conduct.

“One sentence caused chaos. This Big 3 debate will never end,” one user wrote.

Did Burna Boy Personally Make the Statement?

As of the time of writing, Burna Boy himself has not issued any official statement confirming or denying the post.

The statement is widely attributed to an account believed to be linked to his camp, not a verified personal message from the artist. This distinction has led some fans to question whether the comment reflects Burna Boy’s personal views or was simply an emotional reaction from someone close to his team.

The Bigger Issue: Ego, Legacy, and Respect

Beyond fan wars and social media insults, the controversy has reopened conversations about respect for musical pioneers and how modern success should be balanced with humility.

Many observers argue that regardless of current relevance or chart dominance, legends like 2Baba deserve respect for laying the foundation of Nigerian pop music.

Others insist that the music industry is competitive by nature and that strong opinions and clashes are inevitable at the highest level.

What Happens Next?

For now, neither Wizkid nor Burna Boy has directly addressed the controversy in an official capacity. However, history suggests that fan debates surrounding the Big 3 will continue regardless of silence from the artists.

Whether this incident fades away or escalates into a more public exchange remains to be seen.

Final Thoughts

The reported statement calling Wizkid “the only disgrace in the Big 3” has once again proven how powerful words can be in the age of social media.

While fans may take sides, one fact remains clear: Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido continue to dominate conversations, charts, and global stages — ensuring that the Big 3 debate is far from over.
