Nigerian Rapper, IllBliss has revealed why he thinks Burna Boy is the greatest artist in Nigeria.
iLLBliss in a tweet he made on Sunday, November 29, congratulated Nigerian afrobeat singer, Burna Boy for his recent Grammy nomination.
In his tweet, the rapper was of the opinion that Burna getting a second Grammy Award nomination in two years settles the debate on who’s the greatest in Nigeria’s music industry.
while congratulating the self-styled African Giant, he said his craft is second to none, adding that Burna is beyond a spaceship.
He tweeted, “2 Grammy nods in 2 years. Are we finally settled on who the greatest is? Big congratulations my bro @burnaboy . You are beyond a spaceship. Your craft is second to none.”

However, when he came under heavy criticism for causing division and for adding fuel to an already burning debate in the Nigerian music industry, he insisted he was on stating an obvious fact.
Hahaha.Not at all. Just my humble opinion. Its really okay if you don't approve https://t.co/gRXsKWKjjh

They say I'm bringing division cos I have an artiste that tops my list. How could you divide what God has crowned. Aren't they all super crowned? Super successful? Are you in your right senses? Do you need psychological evaluation?

He also added that, with or without Grammy nominations, he would still rate Burna Boy above the clouds.
Granmy nods or not I rank Burna above the clouds. I love who ever else you feel is greater but respect greatness and uniqueness
