Seyi Sodimu Breaks Down Wizkid, Davido, & Burna Boy's Unique Influences

Veteran Nigerian musician, Seyi Sodimu has shared his opinion on the influences of the so-called Afrobeats Big 3, Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy. Speaking in a recent episode of the What I Know podcast hosted by Korty EO alongside Shaffy Bello, the Love Me Jeje crooner stated that the Big 3 all wield different kinds of influences. He explained that Wizkid has special influence, Burna Boy has purely musical influence while Davido’s influence surpasses music. He claimed that Davido can win a governorship election due to his influence but Burna Boy can’t due to the kind of influence he wields. “The [Afrobeats] Big 3, each one is doing it [music] for different reasons. Burna Boy has conquered the stage. And he is good. Wizkid is special. And Davido surpasses music. “What do I mean by that? If Davido ran for governor today, he would win. But I don’t think Burna Boy could win as a governor,” he said. This is not the first time a public figure would be tipping Davido for governorship position. Last year, a former Nigerian lawmaker, Senator Ben Maurice Bruce, claimed that Davido would one day become the governor of Osun state. Davido’s uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is the current governor of the state.
