How Wizkid, Davido, Burna make it hard for others to measure up – Singer, Harrysong

Harrysong explains how Wizkid, Davido, Burna make it hard for others to measure up.
Harrison Okiri, also known as Harrysong, has remarked that it is difficult for artists to compete with the likes of Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy.
He claimed during an interview that because the Afrobeats trio works extra hard to hold onto their top spot, it is impossible for others to compare to them or unseat them.
However, Harrysong stated that this does not imply that musicians are not working hard, but rather that everyone is thriving in their respective lanes.
The singer of “Reggae Blues” added that he is not in the music industry to outdo his contemporaries.
He added that there should not be any need for envy or jealousy and that it is equally necessary to recognise and honour someone who has made some amazing professional strides.
Harrysong then referenced Burna Boy’s Grammy award and noted that when he won, it was a thing of pride for Africa and Nigeria.

He said; “Everyone is the king of their castle. Artistes such as Davido, Burna Boy and Wizkid work really hard to maintain their prime position. However, it is not that every other person is not working hard. But, as far as I’m concerned, I am not here to compete with anyone. If one has the spirit of competition, I don’t think one will be able to ‘beat’ it.
It is important to always pay compliments to people who are doing well. If one congratulates them on their successes, one is also tapping into their grace. There is no need for envy or jealousy. The way I see it; when one person wins, it is a win for everyone. For example, when Burna Boy won the Grammy Award, he brought glory to Africa, not just Nigeria.”
Speaking on his plans for 2023, he said, “I am working on my album, which is titled, God Amongst Men. I can assure my fans that they will hear new sounds because the music is changing. I will give them what they love.”
