Nigerian Afropop
List of Top Nigeria Afropop Artists
In the world of music, Nigerian Afropop artists have been taken over, becoming international stars with a reach that stretches across the globe. Dominating music in Africa, the U.S., the U.K., and dozens of other places around the world, Nigeria Afropop music has become something new for a once stagnant music industry of the same pop stars and artists. Constantly headlining and continuous press coverage, Nigeria Afropop artists have led the country to gain global recognition and shed light to the world of another side and another culture of Africa’s largest country.
To be clear, Nigeria Afropop music defines the most popular genres within the country’s borders, from Afrobeats to Reggae/Dancehall to R&B to Pop music, or a fusion and a blend of all the above. While there are other genres, like Jùjú music, which was pioneered by King Sunny Adé, and Fuji music, which was led by artists like Ayinde Barrister and Obesere, Afrobeat, originally popularized by Fela Kuti, and Afropop music is far ahead of any other form of music.
As mentioned, Nigerian Afropop artists have become global sensations, leading the music industry as dozens of artists have surpassed local success and have become international stars, often linking with artists like Beyonce, Drake, Ed Sheeran, Nicki Minaj, Future, Selena Gomez, and many others. Consisting of numerous stars, the growing music scene of Nigeria Afro pop music has only opened the doors for more African stars to emerge.
When you have artists like Burna Boy, who has consistently reached the top of the music charts across the globe. Davido, who built a legendary career through hits like “Fall,” “FIA,” “Jowo,” “If,” and “Assurance.” Wizkid, who became one of the very first stars of Africa internationally recognized. Tiwa Savage and Yemi Alade who have empowered and inspired women throughout the Africa. A number of familiar faces like Rema, Tekno, Kizz Daniel, Simi, or Patoranking, and a number of newcomers like Tems, Fireboy DML, Joeboy, Omah Lay, or Ckay that have recently surged in music, all provide the answer on how Nigeria became the world’s fastest growing music scene.
