Veteran Nollywood actress Shaffy Bello has said that Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy have reached the same level of influence as late Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. According to her, the three music stars have done exceptionally well in taking Nigerian music to the world stage.
Shaffy Bello explained that Fela was known for using music to represent Africa globally, and today’s Afrobeats stars are doing something similar in their own way. She noted that Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy have built strong international fan bases and continue to make Nigeria proud through their music and achievements.
The actress added that while Fela’s style and message were different, impact should be measured by global reach and cultural influence. In her view, the current generation of Afrobeats artists has successfully positioned Nigeria as a major force in global music, just like Fela did during his time.
Shaffy Bello’s comment has sparked conversations online, with many fans agreeing while others believe Fela remains unmatched. However, the statement highlights how far Afrobeats has grown and how Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy are shaping Nigeria’s musical legacy worldwide.
