The incident unfolded on 10 February 2026 after 2Baba publicly named Burna Boy as the greatest Nigerian artist, prompting reactions across the country’s music community.

According to reports, Wizkid reportedly used his Snapchat story to critique 2Baba, focusing on family matters rather than musical achievements.

The move prompted a swift response from Burna Boy’s camp, which labelled Wizkid “the only disgrace in the Big 3,” a statement that immediately trended on social media.

Burna Boys’ team emphasised that the singer’s accolades were earned through extensive tours and personal milestones, without relying on collaborations with artists such as Drake, Tems, or Asake. The response concluded with a pointed advisory directed at Wizkid: “Take a chill pill.”

Fans have since divided, with timelines filled with debates, old interviews, and tour statistics, further fuelling discussions about the so-called “Big 3” of Nigerian music.

Analysts suggest the feud reflects not only competition but also the public’s fascination with the personal and professional interplay among top Nigerian artists.

The clash underscores the growing influence of social media in shaping public perception and amplifying celebrity rivalries.
