Controversial reality TV star and media personality, Natacha Anita Akide, known as Tacha, has sparked a debate by asserting that Grammy-winning Nigerian artist, Burna Boy, surpasses American superstar Beyoncé in stage performance.
Tacha made the bold statement during her radio show on Cool FM Nigeria, Lagos, stating, “If it wasn’t that Beyoncé is Beyoncé, I would almost place Burna Boy ahead of her. Because nobody performs like Burna Boy. Have you seen Burna Boy perform? Burna Boy is on the same level with any international artist. Burna Boy has no bad song.”
This comes in the wake of Burna Boy’s historic performance at the 66th Grammys, where he became the first Nigerian artist to grace the mainstage. His electrifying performance was further adorned by the presence of legendary singer Brandy and rapper 21 Savage.
Tacha’s statement has ignited discussions globally, with fans of both artists expressing their opinions on social media. This underlines the ever-growing influence of African music on the international stage and the emergence of new global stars.
