The situation intensified when 2Baba, during his guest appearance on the Mic On podcast, proclaimed Burna Boy as the leading Afrobeats artist globally, claiming he has outshone both Wizkid and Davido due to his vast international influence and recognition.
Wizkid shot back with a sharp comment on his Snapchat story, saying “you should resolve your family issues before sharing your views on music.”
He also alluded to 2Baba’s well-documented personal challenges, remarking that “old man, I won’t let it slide in 2026,” referencing 2Baba’s past public conflicts with his ex-wife, Annie Idibia.
The exchange has generated mixed reactions among fans and industry insiders; some praised Wizkid for his confidence and assertiveness, while others defended 2Baba, acknowledging his role as a pioneer in hits like “African Queen” and his significant impact on the global spread of Afrobeats, which traces its lineage from Fela Kuti to today’s stars.
