In a move that’s got everyone talking, Afrobeats megastar Davido has just dropped a bombshell by publicly naming Asake, Rema, and Omah Lay as the next possible “Greatest of All Time” (GOAT) artistes in the Nigerian and global Afrobeats scene. The singer, who’s no stranger to controversy, made these comments during a Twitch livestream with comedian Carter Efe, and the internet hasn’t stopped buzzing since.

When asked the age-old question about who could take over the Afrobeats crown, Davido didn’t even blink before throwing his weight behind Asake, Rema, and Omah Lay. “Right now, for me, I say, between Asake, Omah Lay, or Rema. If you ask me. I think they’ve done exceptionally well,” he declared, instantly setting social media on fire and sending fans into a frenzy.

Davido, who’s been at the top of the game for years, made it clear he was talking about male artistes, but didn’t forget to name-drop female stars like Tems and Ayra Starr,just to keep things balanced. “Obviously, we have Tems, Ayra Starr, stuff like, I’m talking about males. Those three, killing it, you know what I’m saying,” he said, making sure everyone knew exactly who he was backing.

He didn’t stop there. Davido gushed about his “brothers” Omah Lay, Rema, and Asake, praising their talent and international reach. “Omah Lay, obviously, my brother. Rema, love him so much. Asake, have so much love for him as well. They’re all doing amazingly well,” he said, sounding more like a proud mentor than a rival.

And just in case anyone missed the point, Davido hammered home how big it is to see Nigerian artistes making waves in America and beyond. “Especially like globally. Like it’s just amazing to just be in America and just see them. You know I’m saying. It is not easy o,” he added, reminding everyone of the struggle,and the glory,of going global.

Let’s not forget, Davido’s word carries serious weight in the industry. He’s been a driving force behind Afrobeats’ international takeover, and his endorsement is basically a golden ticket. With Afrobeats stars now topping charts, selling out arenas, and racking up award nominations, the stakes have never been higher.

The big question: Who’s really next in line for the GOAT title? With Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido himself already setting the bar sky-high, all eyes are now on the new kids,Asake, Rema, and Omah Lay,to see if they can live up to the hype.

Asake’s street vibes and energetic shows have made him a household name. Rema’s international collabs and genre-bending sound have put him on the world map. Omah Lay’s soulful lyrics and unique style have earned him a loyal following. But is that enough to claim the throne?

Davido’s shout-out is a major boost, but it also piles on the pressure. The world is watching, and the expectations are huge. Will Asake, Rema, and Omah Lay rise to the occasion, or is this just another round of industry hype?

One thing’s for sure: the Afrobeats GOAT debate is far from over. With Davido stirring the pot, the race for the crown just got a whole lot more interesting.
