The moment quickly caught attention because it touched on the long‑running debates among Nigerian music fans about the so‑called Afrobeats Big 3.

For years, Davido, Wizkid and Burna Boy have been placed side by side in endless comparisons, with supporters fiercely defending their favourites and sometimes turning minor issues into heated rivalries.

By choosing to take himself out of the scenario, Davido refused to add fuel to that fire.

The response the 5ive crooner gave to the controversial question sparked reactions online, with many Nigerians praising the move and describing it as a wise way of handling the pressure that comes with being one of the biggest names in Afrobeats.

On social media, fans called his reply a masterstroke in diplomacy, noting that it managed to ease tension without undermining Wizkid or Burna Boy.

The clip has since gone viral, with people saying it shows that the three stars can coexist without constant competition, and that Davido’s calm deflection was a reminder of the respect that binds the genre together.

He recalled how the man stopped a DJ from playing African songs and also refused him entry into the club when he was younger.
