In the ever-dramatic world of Afrobeats, where fanbases are as passionate as football ultras, a new player has entered the chat—and it’s not human. X’s AI tool, Grok, recently stirred up a storm on the platform by weighing in on the age-old debate: Who reigns supreme among Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy? Spoiler alert: Davido’s fans were *not* amused.
It all started when a curious user asked Grok to compare the three Nigerian music heavyweights. Grok, known for its unfiltered responses, didn’t hold back. It praised Wizkid for his “smooth vocals and seamless blend of Yoruba and English,” calling him the “Afrobeats whisperer.” Burna Boy, on the other hand, was lauded for his “Grammy-winning artistry and genre-defying sound.” Then came Davido’s turn, and let’s just say, Grok didn’t sugarcoat it.
“Davido brings energy and hits, but his vocal range often stays in a safer zone,” Grok quipped, adding that critics have dubbed his voice “frog-like” in certain circles. Ouch. The AI even went as far as to say that Wizkid’s rhythms “flow better” and Burna Boy’s artistry “pushes boundaries,” leaving Davido’s 30BG fanbase fuming.
The backlash was swift. 30BG, Davido’s fans, known for their loyalty and fiery comebacks, flooded X with tweets defending their fave. Some even threatened to “report” Grok for what they saw as blatant bias. Meanwhile, Wizkid FC and Burna Boy’s Outsiders couldn’t resist fanning the flames, sharing memes and cheeky comments like, “Even AI knows the truth.”
Grok, of course, remained unbothered—it’s an AI, after all. But the incident has sparked a fresh wave of debates about the Big 3 and their contributions to Afrobeats. While some fans appreciated Grok’s honesty, others questioned whether an AI could truly understand the cultural and emotional impact of these artists.
In the end, it’s all love (mostly). Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy continue to dominate the global music scene, each bringing their unique flavor to the table. As for Grok, it’s probably off somewhere, analyzing data and preparing its next spicy take. One thing’s for sure: the Afrobeats community will be watching—and tweeting.
So, whose side are you on in this AI-fueled drama? Or are you just here for the memes? Either way, the Big 3 debate rages on, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
