American rapper, William Leonard Roberts II, better known as Rick Ross has named Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu better known as Burna Boy as the best African artist of all time.
In a recent Instagram live session with South African rapper Nasty C, Rick Ross highlighted Burna Boy as his top pick for the greatest African artist of all time.
He said, “When it comes to naming the top three African artists of all time, Burna Boy is at the forefront for me.”
Nasty C concurred, he said, “I was going to say that [Burna Boy is the best African artist of all time.].”
Rick Ross asserted that Senegalese-American singer Akon occupies the second position on the list of the greatest African artists of all time, following Burna Boy. Additionally, Nasty C expressed his belief that his late colleague AKA should hold the third position on the list.
