Burna Boy Named Nigeria’s Top Artist by 2Face Idibia

Nigerian music legend Innocent Ujah Idibia, popularly known as 2Face or 2Baba, has openly declared that Burna Boy holds the position of Nigeria’s number one artist at the moment.

During a recent interview on Urban FM in Enugu, the iconic African Queen crooner expressed his admiration for Burna Boy’s artistry, describing him as the leader and senior among the new wave of Nigerian musicians currently dominating the Afrobeat scene.

According to 2Face, while he respects and appreciates the creative works of other contemporary stars, Burna Boy stands out on a personal level.

“For me, Burna Boy is my number one artist right now. I still admire other talented musicians in the industry, but personally, he is the senior among the rest. Others are doing great and I can see them reaching his level, but Burna Boy holds the top spot at the moment,” 2Face said.

This acknowledgment from 2Face carries significant weight in the Nigerian music industry. As one of Africa’s most respected music veterans, his recognition of Burna Boy underscores the global impact and influence Burna has achieved in recent years.

With Grammy wins, international tours, and chart-topping records, Burna Boy has consistently pushed Afrobeat to greater heights, positioning himself as one of Africa’s biggest music exports. His artistry continues to inspire rising acts, many of whom 2Face believes are capable of attaining similar greatness in the future.
