Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has shared his thoughts on who he believes will carry the global Afrobeats movement forward after the current generation of heavyweights.
The DMW boss made the revelation during a recent livestream with content creator Carter Efe, where he spoke candidly about music, legacy, and the future of the genre.
Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy are widely regarded as Afrobeats’ “Big 3,” having pushed Nigerian music to unprecedented global heights over the past decade.

But according to Davido, the next era is already taking shape.
While responding to a question from the host about the future of Afrobeats, the Grammy nominee confidently named three artists he believes will dominate the scene after the current leaders.
He stated:
“Asake, Omah Lay and Rema are the next GOATs of Afrobeats."
All three artists have enjoyed massive success in recent years, breaking streaming records and selling out international venues.
Asake rose to prominence under Olamide’s YBNL label with his fusion of Fuji-inspired sounds and street anthems. Rema has become one of Afrobeats’ biggest global exports, while Omah Lay is known for his emotionally rich sound and loyal fanbase.
Davido’s comment quickly became a talking point online, with fans debating whether his picks were accurate or if other artists deserved mention.
Beyond discussing Afrobeats’ future, Davido also spoke about his personal musical aspirations. During the livestream, he revealed two international stars he hopes to work with one day.
He shared:
“I would love to do a song with Rihanna. I think me and Rihanna would make some dope music. Kehlani as well."
