Music executive Ubi Franklin has ruled out the so-called Afrobeats’ “Big 3” – Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy working on a project together.
Mr. Frankling who was speaking during a chat on the Afropolitan podcast stated that the competitive nature of their careers will make coming together difficult.
He, however, stressed that the tension is strictly professional, adding that he has never heard Davido speak negatively about Wizkid or Burna Boy and believes the respect is mutual.
“It would be difficult for Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy to come together. I will speak for Davido. I have never heard him say something ill about Wizkid or Burna Boy. And I’m sure it’s the same for them. But the environment [industry] they are in will make it difficult for them to work together.
“It’s like the rivalry between the top banks in Nigeria. In every industry, there is the big 3,” he stated.
