Fans of Nigerian music star Wizkid have sparked a Twitter debate as they argued that Wizkid is more popular than Canadian singer The Weeknd.

Fans on Twitter erupted after Wizkid was compared to The Weeknd in terms of popularity.

The tweet asked Twitter users to choose ‘the most popular Starboy’ between Wizkid and The Weeknd.

As you might be already aware, both Wizkid’s and The Weeknd’s brands use the name ‘Starboy’. While Wizkid has a record label named Starboy Entertainment, one of The Weeknd’s albums is titled ‘Starboy’.

In the comments section of the tweet comparing the artists, Wizkid’s fan army (also known as FC) opined that Wizkid is the most popular Starboy.

However, some Twitter users seemed to disagree, as they picked The Weeknd as the most popular.

Spotify monthly listeners doesn’t mean you’re more popular. Can The Weeknd sell out 02 arena in 12 minutes? https://t.co/dHRjQI0Wxp

See as you set Wizkid up 😂
The Weeknd's Starboy song is greater and has more achievements than the whole Starboy record label.

Don't ever compare the New King of Pop to Masala again!! https://t.co/z7ya7IQSYH pic.twitter.com/kAo7TqzD9E
