Nigerian musician, Burnaboy has caused a stir on social media as he took to his twitter handle to declare that he is the best since Fela
Nigerians on twitter have reacted to this tweet differently.
While some supported him, others are not happy with the statement, saying he is proud.
In his tweet, he said “Anyone you think is the best knows I am THE BEST since Fela”
However, he said he stopped caring about being the best after a fellow Nigerian told him that “the world can do without the best”
FACT! I always knew I was and I am THE BEST. Everyone you think is the best KNOWS I’m BEST since Fela Kuti. But @timayatimaya told me something a long time ago that made me not care about being the best. “The World can do without the Best” the world will still spin regardless.

Here are some of the reactions he got after declaring his the best:
I am ur fan no doubt, u are big and doing great?? but 4 being the best after Fela, I vehemently disagree , b4 u started pple laid the foundation of wat u are leveraging on today and bro those dudes were greater yet never bragged about being the best. I come in peace.

The best doesn’t say he’s the best.

Check all fela documentaries he never said he was the best. Reasons why I prefer 2face
Very blunt, direct and honest disposition of Burna’s feelings, the second part of the message is a Universal truth,don’t feel too important, the world can actually do without any of us, Greetings to my good people of Africa,our best is yet to come?

No one is the “TRUE” best in music where opinion determines everything.
Well, you might need to tell yourself that just to get better .

I love your music ?, but please don’t call yourself the best and you’re not close to FELA, you don’t even come close at all… FELA is. Freedom fighter, he fought for the masses with his music.., the only person coming close to FELA is FALZ ?
