Nigerian singer Ruger has shared his opinion on the rivalry between Afrobeats megastars, Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.

He said the trio should shun rivalry and collaborate instead.

The Blown Boy boss expressed optimism that the trio’s collaboration and joint world tour would be a defining moment not just for them but for the Afrobeats genre.

Speaking in the latest episode of Madame Joyce’s ‘Cocktails & Takeaways’ podcast, Ruger said he chose to collaborate with BNXN instead of continuing their beef.

He said, “I feel like Davido, Wizkid and Burna Boy should do one song and a tour together. They don’t have to do a project. One song and a world tour together. It’s going to be the greatest thing ever.

“Me and BNXN would be co-writers of the song.”
