During a recent interview on the Drink Champs podcast with N.O.R.E and DJ EFN, Senegalese-American singer Akon was asked to choose between Nigerian superstar singers Davido and Burna Boy.
Without hesitation, Akon expressed his preference for Davido over Burna Boy. He praised Davido as a “beast” and emphasized that he deserves more recognition and accolades for his musical talent.
In the past, Akon has also shown admiration for other Nigerian artists. In an interview with American radio host Sway, he described Wizkid as a superstar and a natural talent. Similarly, he commended Davido for his success and referred to him as an underdog who fought hard to achieve his current position in the music industry.
Akon’s remarks have sparked discussions among fans of Nigerian music, with social media platforms buzzing with different opinions. Davido’s fans, in particular, have celebrated the endorsement from the esteemed American music veteran.
