The purported statement quotes Burna Boy as saying he was never happy about his friendship with Wizkid, whom he allegedly described as a “snake,” while praising Davido as “the real one” in the Nigerian music industry.
“I was never happy to be friends with Wizkid. He is a snake. Davido has been the real one in the industry,” the statement attributed to Burna Boy reads.
The circulating quote further claims that Wizkid “always want to pick fights” with Davido because of a perceived rivalry between the two artists.
However, there is currently no reliable interview, verified social-media post or established media report confirming that Burna Boy made the quoted remarks in those exact words.
The statement should therefore be treated as an unverified social-media claim, rather than an established comment by the singer.
Burna Boy, Davido and Wizkid have for years been at the centre of the so-called “Big Three” debate in Nigerian and African music, with fans and commentators frequently comparing their careers, achievements and international influence.
The relationship between the three artists has repeatedly generated public debate, with their respective fan bases often engaging in heated arguments over who occupies the leading position in Afrobeats.
In February 2026, veteran musician 2Baba also weighed into the debate, saying Burna Boy was at the top of the game while cautioning against treating music competition as an objective ranking.
More recently, tensions involving Burna Boy and Wizkid’s camp also attracted attention following a reported altercation involving Burna Boy and Wizkid's DJ, DJ Tunez, in Lagos. Wizkid subsequently reacted publicly to the incident.
The latest purported statement attributed to Burna Boy has therefore added fresh fuel to an already long-running conversation about the relationships and rivalries among Nigeria's biggest Afrobeats stars.
