Additionally, Davido stated that he is not a renegade like Burna Boy, nor does he exude mystery like Wizkid. He emphasised that he is only himself and does not need to be like anyone else.

“I love everyone, man. I’m not a rebel like Burna Boy or mystical like Wizkid. I’m just me. People know me as the outgoing, free guy. I’m not a rebel like Burna Boy or mystical like Wizkid, I can’t act that way,” he added.

“Some people tell me I’m too free, don’t I know I’m a superstar. I’ll be like if my dad walks past you right now, you wouldn’t know so that’s how I grew up.

“My manager gets mad at me for wearing slippers in the house. There are people born artists, who comes out of their room looking good,” he said in part.

@Highchief_law said:

"Why do they always ask him about Wiz in most of his interviews? I hardly see interviewers ask Wiz about this guy. Again, Davido's biggest highlight as an artist is being compared to Wiz. I think Davido himself sees it as a major accomplishment and he loves it."

@BRAINYIMIG said:

"He is so humble here, unlike other times when he used to be subtly insulting, jealous and arrogant."

Akon credited Burna Boy for blending Nigerian and Ghanaian sounds in a way that sets him apart.

He claimed that his influence could be seen in Burna Boy’s blueprint and gave credit to the former head of international at Konvict Music for shaping Burna Boy’s career. For Wizkid, Akon said that he was a superstar who releases one song a year that stays relevant throughout. Speaking about Davido, Akon mentioned that he is a hardworking artist. He claimed that the Awuke crooner was an underdog back then who wanted to be like Wizkid when he dominated the airwaves.
