Why Is Davido, Wizkid And Burna Boy Performing At Tony Elumelu’s Party My Biggest Event In 2021?
The Nigerian Music Industry is the biggest and the most successful and booming Music Industry in Africa. The industry is packed with many talented artistes; musicians who are doing their best to sell African Music to the world on the global scale.
However, as the industry grows, there are always unexpected controversies that happens all the time among artistes which include beef. Though, in the entertainment industry worldwide, beef is a regular occurrence and the case is no different in Nigeria. Often times, celebrities hit at each other when their egos are bruised.
The Nigerian music industry has never shied away from hateful and spiteful relationships amongst its musicians. Years have passed and we are still witnessing various ‘beefs’ between artistes and it’s never showing signs that even in the coming years, it will end.
Though the genesis of Davido, Burna Boy and Wizkid feud is unknown, but what the fans can deduce is that, it is a battle for supremacy among these three iconic Nigerian acts.
Whether it’s a battle of supremacy or superiority over wealth and riches, quality of music or other factors, there is always going to be the existence of bad-blood among two or more music artistes in the Nigerian music scene. Some of these ‘beefs’ always shake the whole industry and even cause fans to go against each other both on the internet and outside of it. That’s how serious ‘beefs’ can go in the Nigerian music Industry.
But seeing Davido, Wizkid and Burna Boy performing on the same stage, is an exciting way to encourage the Nigerian Artistes to embrace each other like never before. To be united despite individual and group differences, and also use their talents and popularity in mobilizing Nigerians towards unity, peace, tolerance and productivity.
