D'banj whose full name is Oladapo Oyebanjo has recently named his top 3 Nigerian Music Stars and Wizkid was excluded. He was asked the question on a popular podcast show and he named his top three, Rema, Davido and Burna Boy.

He was in Adesope Live podcast this weekend when the question was thrown at him, D'banj responded to the question giving a hint to why he loves the three named music artist as a preferred choice. He said, "Shout out to Rema, I like his energy then there is Davido, People should learn from the way he carries himself, like he doesn't have a penny and yet he is so consistent. Burna Boy is too Intentional; his live shows are amazing".

Earlier this month Rema had praise D'banj for his O2 arena concert, giving him credit for contributing to the rise of Afrobeats to the global prominence, most especially in the United Kingdom. He said Dbanj is the first people to take the Afrobeats sound to the United Kingdom, saying he paved the way for his generation of artists.

In his words, "First of all, I want to appreciate you for opening the doors. We [the new generational artists] do not do it alone. You were one of the first ones to bring Afrobeats to the UK. You and Don Jazzy held it down. Y’all open that door. I appreciate you for life. I love you from the bottom of my heart. If you never existed, I would have never existed.”
