Popular rapper and YBNL boss Olamide Adedeji, popularly known as Olamide, has responded to criticism over his remark that Wizkid is the greatest Afrobeats artiste after the late Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

Olamide made the statement during his recent visit to York University in Toronto where he spoke about his long relationship with Wizkid.

In the viral video, he said, “I have had the privilege of working with Wizkid, we have made so many songs together. You know say after Fela, Wizkid is the greatest Afrobeats artist ever.”

The comment immediately sparked reactions on Thursday on social media as fans of Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy revived the long running argument about who sits at the top of Afrobeats.

While some users supported his ranking, others criticised the comment and insisted that all three artistes have contributed significantly to the growth of the genre.
