Ola Aina, a defender for the Super Eagles, has shared his perspective on the leading Afrobeats artists in Nigeria during an episode of ‘The Inside Scope’ podcast. He ranked Burna Boy at the top, followed by Wizkid, Davido, and Asake, noting each artist’s unique contributions to the genre.
Aina began with Burna Boy, asserting his dominance in the industry. He stated, “Burna Boy is number 1 because whatever he drops is going to bang. So that’s why he’s number 1. It may be a little bit biased but he’s there.” Aina expressed strong support for Burna Boy’s work and influence.
Wizkid secured the second position on Aina’s list. He explained, “Wizkid would have been first but I think that would have just been the nostalgia kicking in because lately, he has been overtaken.” This reflects Aina’s acknowledgment of both Wizkid’s historical impact and recent trends.
Davido, coming in third, was recognized for his prolific output. Aina remarked, “Davido is third because he drops a lot of songs so definitely, there would be a few bangers.” This statement underscores Davido’s consistent presence in the Afrobeats scene.
Finally, Aina ranked Asake fourth, emphasizing his potential despite being relatively new. He noted, “He makes hits. In a few years, he will be at the top,” showing optimism for Asake’s future in the music industry.
Ola Aina’s insights into the current landscape of Afrobeats highlight the significance of each artist he mentioned. Burna Boy leads the pack, followed closely by Wizkid, with Davido’s prolific output maintaining his relevance and Asake showing promise for future successes. Aina’s rankings reflect both personal preference and broader trends within the genre, demonstrating the dynamic nature of Afrobeats in Nigeria.
