Super Eagles midfielder Joe Aribo has chosen Wizkid ahead of Burna Boy and Davido as his favourite Nigerian musician at the moment. 

Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy are the three biggest artists in Nigeria and Africa right now. The three superstars are arguably the biggest Afrobeats artists globally, with their music dominating multiple charts across the world. 

And as a result, there is an existing rivalry among their fans, with neither set of fans willing to accept that one artist is bigger than the other.

However, for Aribo, he is clear on who is his favourite Nigerian musician right now. In an exclusive interview with Pulse Sports Nigeria, the former Charlton man chose Wizkid as his favourite musical artist currently. 

When asked to choose his best Nigerian artist, Aribo said: "I have to say Wizkid for me."
