Thanks to the creative industry, Nigerians have the right to brag about being the best in Africa and globally. The Nigerian creative industry has witnessed massive growth, which has seen some famous singers from the country shutting down global concerts in what would have been a difficult feat decades ago.
Efforts from the likes of Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Tiwa Savage, Rema, Tems, and even newcomer Asake has helped put Nigerian and African music in the spotlight.
Headlining at stadiums and shutting down world-class arenas like the O2 Arena in the UK, the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and the State Farm Arena has become effortlessly easy for Burna Boy and Wizkid.
Tems is another Nigerian talent on the global stage. Earlier this year, Tems became the first female Afrobeats singer to win a Grammy.
Aside from her songs, Tems has been gaining attention internationally with her classy fashion at recognised events like the Met Gala event.
Worthy of mention is newcomer Asake, who is signed to Olamide’s YBNL label record. The singer, who made it to the limelight in 2022, sold out the 02 Academy in the UK within five minutes.
