Music figures Phenom and DayGenius have engaged in a dispute over which of Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Drake holds greater international prominence.
Phenom contended that Burna Boy surpasses Drake in global popularity, pointing to the Nigerian artist’s large-scale stadium shows and appearance at the FIFA World Cup.
“Worldwide, right now, Burna Boy is bigger than Drake,” Phenom said, insisting that Burna’s ability to headline stadiums in different countries sets him apart.
However, during the discussion about Burna Boy and Wizkid, Phenom seemed to dismiss the idea that Burna’s World Cup appearance by itself makes him more prominent than Wizkid.
“You can’t say Burna Boy is bigger than Wizkid just because he performed at the World Cup. Would you say Burna is bigger than Drake cos of World Cup performance? Wizkid is the greatest, please,” he stated.
However, DayGenius argued that Drake continues to have a larger global presence and challenged Phenom’s earlier stance.
“Nobody is bigger than Drake,” DayGenius insisted.
Phenom clarified that he was not comparing Burna and Drake strictly within hip-hop, saying, “Drake is the biggest Hip Hop artist. Burna is the biggest African artist.”
The pair also disagreed about Wizkid, with DayGenius repeatedly asserting that Wiz is the top artist, while Phenom highlighted Burna’s stadium performances.
“Burna does stadium back to back,” Phenom said.
The debate also touched on Shakira and Beyoncé before Phenom jokingly appealed to Burna Boy for a reward, saying, “Burna, if you see this, beg, you know what I mean, run me 10k dollars man.”
DayGenius replied, “We’re sharing oh.”
