Popular Nigerian singer Zinoleesky recently stirred up conversation online after revealing that he would choose to rescue Davido over Wizkid and Burna Boy in a hypothetical life-or-death scenario.
During a TikTok live session with streamer Peller, the Marlian Music-signed artist was asked:
“If Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido were drowning, who would you save?”
Caught off guard by the unexpected question, Zinoleesky responded that he doesn’t have a personal relationship with any of the three, but admitted:
“I’d pick Davido… at least there’s a little bit of closeness.“
His choice immediately sparked debate among fans, adding to the growing trend of artists and public figures being put on the spot about allegiances in the Afrobeats “Big 3” hierarchy.
This comes shortly after Tiwa Savage made waves by revealing who she’d save in a similar scenario involving Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Rema—fueling playful rivalries and deeper fan discussions across social media.

Released on April 25, 2025, the 16-track project marks a major career milestone for the Marlian Music signee, following years of building momentum through hit singles like Ma Pariwo, Kilofeshe, and acclaimed EPs like Grit & Lust.
