In a recent Instagram Live session with South African rapper Nasty C, American hip-hop mogul Rick Ross dropped a bombshell that reverberated across the music world: Burna Boy is the best African artist of all time. This proclamation has sparked debates and discussions among fans and critics alike, but one thing is for certain – Burna Boy’s impact on the global music scene cannot be denied.
Rick Ross, known for his larger-than-life persona and keen eye for talent, made his declaration without hesitation. “Top three African artists of all time. If you are calling names, for me, I would say Burna Boy,” he confidently stated during the live session.

Nasty C, no stranger to the African music scene himself, echoed Ross’s sentiment, expressing his agreement with the assertion that Burna Boy reigns supreme. “I was going to say that,” he admitted, affirming Burna Boy’s undeniable influence and artistry.
But who else made the cut in Rick Ross’s esteemed list? Coming in at a close second is none other than Senegalese-American sensation Akon.
