In true OBO fashion, global Afrobeats star Davido is cutting through the noise with trademark honesty, offering fans a rare glimpse into his current standing with fellow Nigerian heavyweights Wizkid and Burna Boy.
In a no-holds-barred interview on The Breakfast Club, Davido laid it all out — the camaraderie, the cooling off, and the curiosity around potential collaborations among Nigeria’s Big Three.
“We Were Tight — Not Anymore”
Davido didn’t sugarcoat it. When asked about his personal bond with Wizkid and Burna Boy, he got straight to the point: “I don’t have a personal relationship with them. I did at some point.”
The once-tight-knit triangle that helped catapult Afrobeats to global fame has drifted apart, and Davido isn’t shy to admit it. Still, he was quick to point out that the industry is bigger than any rivalry or bromance. With new stars like Rema, Asake, and Ayra Starr rewriting the global music script, the Afrobeats movement is no longer just a trio—it’s a global wave.
On Working Together: “It’s Bigger Than Us, But…”
While fans continue to dream of a collab trifecta that would break the internet, Davido isn’t ruling it out. But there’s a catch.
“It’s not impossible. It’s just the people around us who wouldn’t want that to happen.”
In other words, it’s not beef — it’s the background noise. With teams, egos, and brand dynamics all in play, the path to a “Big Three” banger may be trickier than it seems.
On Identity: “I’m Just Me”
If you’ve ever wondered how Davido views the trio’s energy, he’s got that figured out too:
Davido: “I’m the cool, outgoing, free guy.”
Burna Boy: “The rebel.”
Wizkid: “The mysterious one.”
No shade, no filters — just honest vibes. “I can’t act like them,” he said. “I just do me.” It’s a testament to Davido’s transparency and the individual paths each artist has carved into Afrobeats history.
While fans may be divided on who’s the GOAT, Davido’s message is clear: it’s all love for the culture, even if the personal links aren’t as strong as they used to be. And if a collaboration does happen someday, best believe it’ll be nothing short of iconic.
Till then? OBO’s keeping it 100 — just like he always does.
