In a recent interview with blogger Zionfelix, Kofi Nti made a bold statement that has sparked a lot of controversy.
According to him, Daddy Lumba surpasses the legendary status of Michael Jackson. Kofi Nti believes that Lumba’s extensive collection of remarkable songs sets him apart as a better artiste.
To emphasize his point, he suggests translating Lumba’s songs into English while preserving their core melodies and rhythms.
Kofi Nti goes on to claim that Lumba is possibly the only artiste in the world who has songs in every genre, which elevates his stature.
He even compares Lumba’s greatness to that of Bob Marley. Unsurprisingly, Kofi Nti’s statement has caused a massive uproar in the comment section of the TikTok video where it was shared.
It is quite astonishing to think that Michael Jackson, widely regarded as one of the greatest artistes of all time, could be considered second best to Ghana’s Lumba.
This video has gained significant attention online, and Tru News Report was able to obtain a copy of it.
Michael Jackson is widely recognized as one of the most successful music artists in history, having sold an estimated 500 million records worldwide.
He achieved an impressive 13 number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, placing him fourth among all artists during the Hot 100 era. Additionally, he holds the distinction of being the first artist to have a top-ten single on the Billboard Hot 100 in five different decades.
Jackson’s remarkable talent and contributions to the music industry have earned him numerous accolades, including 15 Grammy Awards, six Brit Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an astounding 39 Guinness World Records.
Among his many achievements, he is recognized as the “Most Successful Entertainer of All Time.”
Jackson’s impact on the music industry is further highlighted by his inductions into prestigious institutions such as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (twice), the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Dance Hall of Fame (making him the sole recording artist to be inducted), and the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame.
