Bill Gates, a multibillionaire and the founder of Microsoft, recently spoke about his opinion of afrobeats and mentioned the popularity of Africa’s biggest stars, Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy. Gates is currently in Nigeria after Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was inaugurated as president of the country.
Billionaire Bill Gates Sparks Debate On The Popularity Of Wizkid
The billionaire disclosed that his daughter had expressed excitement when she learned of his trip to Nigeria and mentioned that he would get to see some of the top stars, like Burna Boy and Rema. The millionaire said that since his last visit, he was unfamiliar with the two acts.
He said:
You’re lucky because you get to see Burna Boy and Rema, so I had to look them up…because I’m so ‘hip’. But I remember the last time I was here, I got to see Davido & Wizkid perform.
Social media users have reacted in a variety of ways to this revelation since many felt that it added additional context to the ongoing argument about new and old cats.
Below are a few of the responses:
Bill Gates basically said (without shades) that Burna Boy and Afro beats are not widely known and have to be looked up on Google when mentioned, unlike Davido and Wizkid who are readily known and acknowledged worldwide.

Bill Gates said the last time in Nigeria some years ago, he watched Davido & Wizkid cos they were the trending musicians then.
But now, his children asked him to meet Burna Boy & Rema.
From the above, we can deduce the new & old cats from one of the Billionaires in the world.
