Veteran Nigerian musician, Seyi Sodimu, has weighed in on the impact of the Afrobeats “Big 3” – Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.
In a recent episode of the What I Know podcast with Korty EO and Shaffy Bello, the Love Me Jeje singer highlighted that each of the Big 3 holds a distinct type of influence.
Seyi Sodimu noted that Wizkid’s impact is unique, Burna Boy’s influence is primarily musical, while Davido’s reach extends far beyond music.
He claimed that Davido can win a governorship election due to his influence but Burna Boy can’t due to the kind of influence he wields.
“The [Afrobeats] Big 3, each one is doing it [music] for different reasons. Burna Boy has conquered the stage. And he is good. Wizkid is special. And Davido surpasses music.
“What do I mean by that? If Davido ran for governor today, he would win. But I don’t think Burna Boy could win as a governor,” Seyi Sodimu said.
This is not the first time a public figure would be tipping Davido for governorship position.
Last year, a former Nigerian lawmaker, Senator Ben Maurice Bruce, claimed that Davido would one day become the governor of Osun state.
Davido’s uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is the current governor of the state.
