“Shout out to Rema—I love his energy,” D’banj said. “Then there’s Davido. People should learn from the way he carries himself like he doesn’t have a penny, yet he’s so consistent. Burna Boy is too intentional; his live shows are amazing.”
Many fans applauded D’banj’s recognition of the artists’ individual strengths. However, the absence of Wizkid—a Grammy-winning artist with immense global influence—drew sharp criticism from some quarters, fueling debates online about the criteria for such accolades.
The discussion continues to trend as fans weigh in on D’banj’s picks and the perceived snub of one of Afrobeats’ biggest names.
