Why Burna Boy Isn't Top 3 Artist In Nigeria - Daniel Regha

Online media personality Daniel Regha has sparked fresh debate in the Nigerian music scene by sharing his opinion on the top three artists, controversially excluding Burna Boy. 

Regha, known for his blunt takes, recently criticized Davido’s father, Adedeji Adeleke, for his billion-naira donation to a church in honor of his late wife. Now, he’s taken to Twitter to argue that Burna Boy doesn’t deserve a spot in the "Big 3" of Nigerian music, citing unmet expectations.

In his view, Davido, Olamide, and Wizkid hold the top three spots, with Burna Boy falling to fourth or even fifth, depending on the criteria used. Regha added that Kizz Daniel could easily take Burna Boy’s place. His tweet reads, “Burna doesn’t rank amongst the Big 3, these spots go to Olamide, Davido, & Wizkid; At the moment Burna takes the 4th or 5th spot depending on the criteria used.”

Unsurprisingly, his statement has ignited a wave of reactions online, with fans and critics weighing in on his controversial ranking.
