• Wizkid has declared himself the “number one” artist in the music industry, sharing a post with the words “BIG WIZ, number #1” written on a wall.
• The move sparked fan reactions and renewed comparisons among Afrobeats’ “Big 3”

Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Wizkid, has once again stirred conversation among fans after seemingly declaring himself the number one artist in the music industry.

In a recent Instagram Story post, the Essence crooner shared a photo showing a wall with the words “BIG WIZ, number #1” boldly inscribed on it. The image also featured items pinned to the wall, hinting at the artist’s confidence and self-assertion.

Wizkid’s post has since sparked mixed reactions online, with many interpreting it as a subtle message to his industry peers, Davido and Burna Boy, both of whom are often compared to him in discussions about Nigeria’s top music acts.

While the singer did not directly mention any names, fans quickly drew connections to the ongoing friendly rivalry among the “Big 3” of Afrobeats.
