Davido Wizkid, and Burna Boy are commonly recognised as the ‘Big 3’ within the Afrobeats genre.

Tiwa Savage, sensing that the ‘Big 3’ label may carry underlying misogynistic implications, expressed her frustration by using an explicit term regarding the ranking during her recent concert in London, England.

“I don’t want to say a lot of things because I will be trending by tomorrow. F**k the Top 3,” she shouted during her performance.

Despite being celebrated as the ‘Queen of Afrobeats’, Tiwa Savage frequently finds herself omitted from various male-dominated lists of top Afrobeats artists.
