Music executive Ubi Franklin has weighed in on Nigerian superstars Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy, who are popularly referred to as Afrobeats’ “Big 3.”
Speaking in a recent episode of the Afropolitan podcast, Franklin explained that it would be difficult for the trio to collaborate, stressing that their positions as the “Big 3” make them rivals rather than collaborators.
The talent manager noted that there are fierce competitors in every industry, using the rivalry between top Nigerian banks to buttress his point.
He, however, claimed that the beef between the Afrobeats stars isn’t beyond entertainment, emphasing that he has never heard his associate Davido gossip about Wizkid and Burna Boy to his inner circle and he believes it’s mutual.
“It would be difficult for Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy to come together. I will speak for Davido, I have never heard him for once said something ill about Wizkid or Burna Boy. And I’m sure it’s the same for them. But the environment [industry] they are will make it difficult for them to work together.
“It’s like the rivalry between the top banks in Nigeria. In every industry, there is the big 3,”he stated.
Adekunle Gold, the popular Nigerian singer, has dropped a sharp message on X.
The singer is saying it’s usually people with no real direction in life that have the most to say about others.
In his words: “It’s always the ones not doing anything meaningful with their lives that have the most to say about you.
“When they come for you, keep it moving, they’re not worth your energy.”

Florence Otedola, the popular Nigerian Disc Jockey and billionaire daughter, who is better known as DJ Cuppy, has given her opinion about marriage.
