Famous singer, Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk, better known as Iyanya, has inferred that he merits being placed on the same pedestal as Afrobeats heavyweights, Wizkid, Davido, and Olamide.

The ‘Kukere’ crooner affirmed the sentiment of a fan who tweeted, “When we mention the Old cats like Olamide, Davido and Wizkid, Iyanya should be mentioned too.

“He dropped two hit songs in 2011, “Kukere and Your waist” and he has been consistent since then.”
