In a recent interview with content creator Issraissry, Senegalese-American singer Akon sparked a heated debate among Nigerian music fans by choosing Davido over Wizkid as his favorite artist.
When asked to pick between the two Afrobeats giants, Akon hesitated for a moment before declaring, “I get in trouble for mentioning anything about Davido. I’m gonna go with Davido. He’s the ultimate shouter.”
Akon’s preference for Davido comes as no surprise, given their past collaborations and the singer’s admiration for the Nigerian artist. However, his choice has sparked a lively discussion among fans of both Wizkid and Davido, with some praising Akon’s honesty and others criticizing his opinion.
Interestingly, Akon has worked with both Wizkid and Davido in the past and has even revealed that he attempted to sign them to his record label, Konvict Music, several years ago. Despite this, his loyalty to Davido is clear, and his statement has added fuel to the ongoing debate among Nigerian music enthusiasts.
