Davido made a controversial statement in an interview days ago, saying “Wizkid and I were the first young artistes to blow up, and it feels good seeing new cats like Burna Boy, Rema, Fireboy, Mayorkun and Asake killing it now”
Davido meant that Burna Boy is new to the Nigerian music industry and is in the same league as the new acts like Rema, Fireboy etc, which is false.
By calling Burna Boy, a “new cat”, he implied that Burna Boy is one of the artistes that are enjoying the returns of the hard work he and Wizkid put into the Afro beats movement.
This statement sparked many reactions across social media and got various artistes and even fans talking.
Burna Boy's sister, Nissi Ogulu, reacted to the interview by sharing on her Insta Story a video from one of her brother’s sold-out concerts abroad and captioned it, “New cats are facing their hustle.”
