Nigerian music superstar **Wizkid** (Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun) has sparked widespread reactions across social media after responding sharply to recent comments made by legendary artist **2Baba** (Innocent Idibia) regarding **Burna Boy**'s position in the global Afrobeats scene.
The exchange began following 2Baba's appearance on the *Mic On* podcast, where the veteran singer praised Burna Boy's current standing, stating that the Grammy-winning artist is "on top of the game right now" in terms of global reach, musical influence, and overall impact—placing him ahead of peers including Wizkid and Davido. 2Baba emphasized Burna Boy's exceptional songwriting and international presence while acknowledging the contributions of all three artists.
In response, Wizkid took to his Snapchat story to address the remarks directly. He posted: “At least make peace with your family first before having opinions about music. Old man, I’m never letting it slack in 2026.” The message, which referenced 2Baba's well-known personal and family matters, has ignited heated debates among fans, industry observers, and social media users.
The clapback highlights ongoing tensions and rivalries within Nigeria's vibrant Afrobeats community, where discussions about global dominance, respect, and legacy frequently divide supporters of the genre's biggest stars.
Wizkid, the multiple award-winning pioneer behind global hits such as "Essence" and "Made in Lagos," continues to dominate charts and headlines with his innovative sound and massive international following. Known for his signature blend of Afrobeats, R&B, and dancehall, the Starboy Entertainment founder remains focused on his craft amid the controversy.
Representatives for Wizkid have not issued further statements at this time. The artist is expected to channel this energy into his upcoming projects, with fans anticipating no slowdown in his momentum throughout 2026.
