- Wizkid declared himself the “number one” artist in the music industry and shared a post with the words “BIG WIZ, number #1” written on the wall.
- The move sparked reactions from fans and renewed comparisons to Afrobeats’ “Big 3”

Grammy Award-winning Nigerian singer Wizkid has once again got fans talking after he seemingly asserted himself as the number one artist in the music industry.
In a recent Instagram Story post, the Essence singer shared a photo of a wall with the words “BIG WIZ, number #1” boldly engraved on it. The image also shows objects nailed to the wall, suggesting 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 when discussing top Nigerian music acts.
While the singer didn’t mention any names directly, fans were quick to make the connection about the ongoing friendly rivalry between the “big three” of Afrobeats.
