Tunde Ednut Discusses Why Wizkid Outshines Davido and Burna Boy in Esteem

By Nr Arinze Apexwxld

In a recent video shared by renowned influencer Tunde Ednut, the discussion revolved around the unparalleled respect commanded by Wizkid in comparison to his counterparts, Davido and Burna Boy, within the African music industry.

The focal point of the video was Wizkid's pivotal role in revolutionizing the treatment of African artists at the prestigious BET International Awards. It shed light on the pre-2018 era, during which African artists were consistently relegated to receiving their awards backstage at the BET Awards ceremony.


Wizkid's defining moment occurred in 2017 when he clinched the BET Award for Best International Act but consciously opted out of attending the ceremony. This decision was underpinned by his firm stance against what he perceived as the unequal treatment of African artists by the BET Awards.

Expressing his discontent, Wizkid publicly criticized the BET Awards for their lack of equitable treatment towards African artists. He adamantly demanded that African artists be accorded the same level of respect and recognition as their international counterparts, advocating for their awards to be presented on the main stage.


Remarkably, Wizkid's vocal stance brought about tangible change. The subsequent year, Davido, another prominent African artist, received the BET Award on the main stage, marking a significant departure from the previous practice of backstage acknowledgments.

Tunde Ednut emphasized that beyond Wizkid's musical prowess, his influence in reshaping the treatment of African artists at the BET Awards stands as a testament to his elevated status within the African music industry.


Prior to Wizkid's intervention, African artists often received their awards in a manner that lacked the grandeur and visibility afforded to their international counterparts. Wizkid's bold decision not only to abstain from the event but also to vocally challenge the status quo highlighted his unwavering commitment to fostering equitable treatment for African artists on the global stage.
