Wizkid has reignited comparisons with fellow Afrobeats star Burna Boy after a comment he made while closing Afro Nation Portugal quickly caught fans’ attention.
Burna Boy headlined the festival’s opening night, while Wizkid closed the three-day event with the final headline performance.
Midway through his set, the Starboy boss celebrated his position on the lineup.
Big Wiz is here. This is why you save the best for the last, baby.
Fans quickly shared the remark across social media, with many interpreting it as a subtle response to the ongoing debate over the festival’s performance order and comparisons between the two Afrobeats giants.
In recent days, Burna Boy’s supporters argued that the organisers gave him the opening-night headline slot because of his star power, while others countered that the festival reserves the closing performance for one of its biggest attractions.
Although Wizkid did not mention Burna Boy by name, his statement fueled fresh arguments across social media, with fans once again debating which of the two global stars currently sits at the top of Afrobeats.
The latest exchange comes months after tensions between the two camps resurfaced following an incident involving Burna Boy and Wizkid’s official DJ, DJ Tunez, at a Lagos nightclub.
