See Why Akon Chose Davido Over Burna Boy

Senegalese-American Singer, Akon chose Davido over Burna Boy in a recent chat with N.O.R.E and DJ EFN on the Drink Champs podcast.

His choice was inspired by a question thrown at him during the podcast. Akon who was asked to choose between the two Nigerian music legends, picked Davido.

Akon said, “I would probably go with Davido. Oh David, that kid right there is a beast, he’s the beast, he’s another one I think that deserves more flowers than he’s received,” he said.”

The Senegalese artist is known to praise Nigerian stars for their contribution to Afrobeats. An example of this would be the time he described Wizkid as a superstar.

Speaking during an interview, Akon said, “Wizkid is just a superstar, he is one of those guys that put up one record a year and the record lasts a whole year. He is a born star without a doubt.”

Akon calls Davido an underdog 

Akon in another interview with American Radio host, Sway, said, “So, Davido was the underdog. But he had the support of a wealthy family so he was able to come up every week with a new song, new video. So he just kept coming. He has more songs than any Afrobeats.”

He also added that “He (Davido) beats the others with quantity versus quality. So he had his method… Everybody has their method.”

Akon’s choice has however generated a debate online as fans of both artists took to social media to express their opinions.
