@BrunhildeOwagbo@BRIISE_ Ok so “biggest” is relative to reach and “greatest” is related to impact. Fairs. Wizkid is the greatest ever. At least you agree on that. I thought you opposed that. So we good. Thanks for clarifying.
@BrunhildeOwagbo@BRIISE_ I didn’t answer you in a disrespectful way. Don’t let the stan in you get in your feelings. You acting like you don’t understand these terms interchangeably. If you need us to address the terms we are using here. Then make it clear. See my previous response.
@BrunhildeOwagbo@BRIISE_ You all use these terms interchangeably. So are you saying “biggest” is relative to current status? If so, I agree. If you say “biggest ever”. It’s difficult to differentiate that from “greatest ever”.
@BrunhildeOwagbo@BRIISE_ Because it’s never been done doesn’t mean he automatically becomes the biggest. Numbers are relative to demand. Numbers and longevity are factors that feed into legacy. It’s that simple.
@BrunhildeOwagbo@BRIISE_ Yes. The timelines at least are evidence for that. Psquare were hot from 2006 - 2014. Wiz has been hot for over a decade! There’s no doubt he’s surpassed their numbers digitally. And everyone unanimously perceives that. The quotes show burna isn’t there yet. Let it go.
@BrunhildeOwagbo@BRIISE_ Is burna the hottest Afrobeats artiste of the last 4 years? Absolutely. Is he the greatest ever? Hell no! But he can be if he keeps with the heat for a while and will definitely get to the point where people unanimously agreed that wiz had surpassed 2Baba. I leave you to ur day.
@BrunhildeOwagbo@BRIISE_ It’s important to apply context to things and not just run away with a narrative cos you have a favourite. It’s a blind perspective. There’s no doubt Afrobeats grew exponentially in the space of 2 years (2020 - 2022). Anyone who dominated that period will rack streams. Burna did.
@BrunhildeOwagbo@BRIISE_ You say digital streams. You forget that relativity is also important. If wizkids 2010 - 2017 run was digitalised, do you think burna’s numbers will have been competitive with Wiz? That’s 7 years of back to back dominance!
@BrunhildeOwagbo@BRIISE_ Recently, Burna has been racking up the numbers which is normal especially due to the fact that his blow up happened around the peak of Afrobeats. But longevity is a huge factor here. In different eras, from 2010s. He’s consistent. Even in the 2020s, he scored MIL again! Nah.
@BrunhildeOwagbo@BRIISE_ What stats exactly? Tours? Yes. Overall Streams? No. That’s why many would try to make a case for solo stats but you can’t be mid and consistently have successful collaborations. Some things are written in the stars. Wiz just seems like the guy that does less but achieves more.
