Veteran Nigerian movie actress, Shaffy Bello, has claimed that the trio of Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy are already on the same level as the late Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
The movie star claimed in a recent episode of the What I Know podcast hosted by Korty EO alongside Seyi Sodimu.

Korty EO asked: “Do you think that some of the present crop of Nigerian artists can reach a legendary status as big and impactful as Fela?”
Bello replied: “I feel some of our guys have reached that. The Big 3 have reached it already. International recognition is what we affirm as reaching that level.
“In terms of recognition, power and money, I feel like our Big 3 or Big 4 have reached Fela’s level already. I mean, Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, and even Asake, too.”
Equally, Shaffy Bello is a Nigerian film actress and singer. She first shot into the entertainment scene when she featured vocals in a 1997 hit song by Seyi Sodimu titled “Love Me Jeje”.
