Afrobeats star Davido has sparked fresh conversations online after tactfully sidestepping a tricky question during an episode of the Ride Along interview series.
During the car ride with host Darryl Vega, the singer was asked to picture himself on a bus alongside Wizkid and Burna Boy, and then choose one person to remove from the trio.
Instead of picking between the two artists, Davido gave a calm and unexpected response he said he would take himself off the bus.
The moment quickly gained attention, especially because it touched on the long-standing debates among Nigerian fans about the so-called Afrobeats “Big 3.”
For years, Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy have been constantly compared, with fans passionately defending their favourites and often turning small differences into major rivalries.
By choosing himself, Davido avoided adding to the ongoing competition and kept the moment light.
His response to the controversial question soon generated buzz online, with many Nigerians applauding his composure and describing the move as a smart way to handle a sensitive situation.
Across social media, fans praised his answer as a diplomatic one, noting that it showed respect for both Wizkid and Burna Boy while steering clear of unnecessary drama.
The clip has since gone viral, with many saying it highlights the possibility for the three stars to thrive without constant comparisons, and that Davido’s response reflects the mutual respect within the Afrobeats scene.
