In a recent interview with GoldMyne TV, Stonebwoy disputes Davido’s claim and asserts that Burna Boy is a music legend, contrary to what Davido had stated. Stonebwoy expresses his belief that Davido did not genuinely mean that Burna Boy is a newcomer. He goes on to mention that artists like Rema and Ruger would be considered new cats in the industry.
Stonebwoy further shares his perspective, stating that in terms of international appeal, both Wizkid and Davido had gained significant recognition before Burna Boy. The issue of the “new cat” trend has been a subject of controversy among Afrobeats musicians in recent times.
Adding to the conversation, B-Red, also known as Adebayo Adeleke and a cousin of Davido, reveals that Burna Boy had eagerly chased after Davido’s car when they first met in Port Harcourt, indicating Burna Boy’s admiration for Davido’s success. B-Red emphasizes that Burna Boy cannot be classified as a newcomer, as he has been active in the music industry for over a decade.
The controversy surrounding Davido’s statement has sparked extensive discussions on social media, with differing opinions on whether Burna Boy should be considered a new artist or if his earlier successes disqualify him from that classification.
