While some have praised his confidence and supported his claim, others have raised questions regarding the definition of greatness in the Nigerian music industry, pointing to various artists who have achieved notable success in recent years.

Wande Coal, known for his soulful voice and unique blend of R&B, Afrobeats, and dancehall influences, emerged on the Nigerian music scene in the mid-2000s.

He gained prominence as a member of the iconic Mo’Hits Records, alongside other celebrated artists such as Don Jazzy and D’banj. During this period, Wande Coal released several successful singles and contributed to hit collaborations, establishing a loyal fan base.

While it is true that Wande Coal has not released a significant commercial hit in recent years, his impact on the Nigerian music landscape and his contributions to the growth of Afrobeats cannot be overlooked. Songs like “Ololufe,” “The Kick” featuring Don Jazzy, and “Iskaba” featuring DJ Tunez remain fan favorites and are frequently played across various media platforms.

As the industry evolves and new talents emerge, the definition of greatness and the determination of the “best artist” in Nigeria continue to be subjective and open to interpretation.

The Nigerian music scene is known for its dynamism and constant reinvention, with artists consistently pushing boundaries and creating innovative sounds.

Whether or not Wande Coal’s bold statement holds true, his proclamation has undoubtedly sparked conversations about the ever-evolving nature of the music industry and the diverse opinions regarding the best artist in Nigeria.
