Super Eagles defender, Ola Aina, has weighed in on the ongoing conversation about the leading figures in Nigeria’s vibrant Afrobeats scene.
Speaking on a recent episode of The Inside Scope podcast, the Nottingham Forest star listed his top four Afrobeats artistes, naming Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, and Asake as his favorites.
“My top 4 Afrobeats artists? Burna Boy is number one because whatever he drops is going to bang. So that’s why he’s number one. It may be a little bit biased, but he’s there,” Aina said.
The versatile defender acknowledged Wizkid as his second choice, noting the singer’s earlier influence but admitting a shift in musical dominance. “Wizkid would have been first, but I think that would have just been the nostalgia kicking in because lately, he has been overtaken.”
Aina placed Davido third, crediting his consistency in releasing music. “Davido drops a lot of songs, so definitely, there would be a few bangers.”
Rounding up his list, Aina mentioned Asake, commending his rise in the industry. “Asake is only last in the group because he’s fairly new. He makes hits. In a few years, he will be at the top,” he added.
