blk americans don't really like listening to international music like that anyways.

That Beyoncé Afro pop album flopped for a reason

"English too"

Theres your answer

Wizkid way better tho

Where are all the Kanye smilies

Nah trust I live in Canada and Latin music is inescapable in clubs here people would rather that than hip hop now

bruh

Americans don’t like other countries speaking English also

Wizkid is way more popular in uk since afrobeats is very popular there

wait why is this thread for wizkid and not burna boy lol
wizkid is a legend I just want to understand the comparison

Now way they deleted them 😡😡😡😡

Thats canada lol

USA has a gigantic spanish population & thetes hella spanish speaking countries, and spanish countries/people are sick of English music in language & sound

They picked their guy & running it up

Also lets not pretend Bunny hasnt been grinding n trying to breakthru for almost a decade

Non english music is getting bigger legs internationally, just like that kpop group

It will only continue

Stop the cap

I be in AZ n CA, border states, and Bunny is going f***i g wild beyond

He is the next/current legit superstar

Havent seen anything like it, hes that guy for many ppl

Amd yes i agree that not many english only people are listening to him on their own, but thats not the be all end all & its being outweighed

USA speaking, also doesnt care for this kind of music in general in mass, Bunny or Wiz, so thats also why an Wnglish "version" isnt gonna work either, because its not the english people that care either way.

Totally different market & demo. Which is also why some US people havent even really heard a Bunny song.

Its not your circle lol & English isnt everything anymore thanks to streaming & the internet.

Two different genres of music, more Spanish speakers in the US, likely much more Latinos in the US than Africans, and yes of course most Americans are gonna choose the white passing Latino singer than the darkskin African singer.

That being said both are great artists who make great music. And I prefer to chill at spots who play both their music. I need some culture when I'm at the club.

Not really Caribbean and West african music is huge in NYC, Atlanta and other places where Black immigrants move to a majority black areas.

It flopped cuz it wasn’t Beyoncé standard

this is how you make peace with yourself

Essence?

I honestly don’t think Bad Bunny and Wizkid are really comparable, other than being from “outside” markets (yes ik Bad Bunny from PR but you know what I mean).
Also, do the whites listen to Bad Bunny significantly? You could easily be the #1 artist in the United States just off the backs of Latinos, there’s like 60 million of them here. If anything, the white and black English speaking people in the US would hold his numbers back, that’d be my guess anyway.
Kinda feel like Wizkid’s time to be the big international afrobeat artist has passed, he’s basically an OG when you compare him to guys like Fireboy DML making the most noise now. Would love to be surprised, however.

Those aren’t significant populations in reference to black American people overall tho. I think he’s tryna say that the American “urban market,” as outdated as that term is, hasn’t taken to the Afrobeat stuff. The black American demo.

He would if he had Tems singing more hooks for him.
