Grammy-winning artist, Burna Boy has declared self the second-greatest African musician in history, naming only Fela Kuti as superior.
The assertion came during a casual livestream with Australian influencer Playboymax.
In a video from the stream, Burna Boy is seen singing and dancing to Fela’s protest anthem, ‘Coffin For Head of State’, while speaking passionately about the music icon.
The comment follows Burna Boy’s earlier remarks clarifying Fela’s role in shaping his music. Last month, he acknowledged that Fela’s songs were part of his upbringing but said they didn’t directly inspire his own sound.
