2 LUPITA NYONG- Kenya

never heard of her

LesbianBoy: Davido is meant to be on the list na!

Can you consider him for a Lifetime African music award ?

Make una wake up biko..

When were they born when Psquare , Tu baba, Logomba and D banj were already releasing albums since 2002 ?

David should still be a 10 year old boy by then..

Nah small small shaa, in the next 5-10 years Davido and Wizkid could make the list..

Trash! Any list without Femi Kuti and King Sunny Ade is nonsense

Tval: I think popularity features includes, an artiste fan base (which could be assessed through the number of followers the artiste has on twitter, facebook, instagram and nairaland), how an artiste music/film is being marketed outside his/her house/street/local government/state/country/continent, and finally international awards won by the artiste.

The artistes who have these features are ........

1.Wizkid got 1,200,000 followers on twitter, 278K followers on Instagram, 932K likes on facebook and .... Followers on nairaland(I know you are on nairaland keep hiding).

2. Davido a.k.a O.B.O has 881,000 followers on twitter, 258K followers on instagram, he has no facebook page and .... Followers on nairaland(keep hiding also). Won different international awards, sold out concerts across the globe.

3. Me, yes you saw it, I av been nominated 4 different times in four different categories at the Grammy awards, I personally rejected BET awards for the best male artiste(not international act the likes of Davido, Sarkodie, Wizkid and Ice Cream won), because Obama didn't come to the airport to welcome me, I performed at 10 different shows in 10 different european countries in a day(that sounds cool), I was invited to give a speech on the relationship between music and football at the just concluded World Cup, but I refused the invitation due to personal reasons.


On a more serious note, one of Wizkid and Davido should be on that list compiled by Our chairman, Lalasticala.

obviously a teenager, mentioning Davido & Wizkid wen legends are talked about. These kids of nowadays... hmmmm

totosucker: oga lala nice one. nice list

I still remember when Yvonne chaka chaka was rocking the stage with African dance warrior music.Chai..

Thank you Mr. Deejay.

You should be in nursery school then. Nah why una no dey understand..

Music was more quality then. No be all these computer mix tapes and remix dem dey release now..

Your list is not complete if Quadra Kora Man is not mentioned AKA Mopao Mokonzi ALIAS Koffi Olomide

Lalastic making fröntpage since 600BC

hmm

hatux: I really agree with your number one, I thought I was gonna see the likes 'wizkid, davido and sorts...

people don't really know wizkid outside naija, in south africa for instance, they don't really know wizkid in d whole of southern africa. Davido is trying with skelewu and his collabo with mafikizolo. Wizkid, just like olamide might b kings in naija but they have not been generally known in southern africa. I can't say about other parts of africa. And p square should b number 1 from naija. These dudes r d most popular acts from naija. As for genevieve, what can I say? I love her die.if wishes were horses genevieve would b my wife.

The list is rubbish without.....

Fela Anikulapo Kuti

Miriam Makeba

Brenda Fassie

Angelique Kidjo

Selif keita....

Those are legends who made their marks.

is it dis davido?

gbosaa: The list is rubbish without.....

Fela Anikulapo Kuti

Miriam Makeba

Brenda Fassie

Angelique Kidjo

Selif keita....

Those are legends who made their marks.

You dey mind them? Fally Ipupa that is Koffi Olomide's boy mentioned without the master. Who's wiz-kid? Awilo longomba is no where near Koffi Olomide. That's the OP's personal opinion not what's on the heading.

..

Angelique Kidjo

Davido and Wizkid haven't spent more than 5 years in the music industry and see the numbers of fans they have garnered. Those two guys still have a very long way to go.

What about chinwetel ejiofor

Born August 13, 1956 in Kisangani (then , the city was called Stanleyville and the country was called the Belgian Congo ), it is at the top for more than three decades. Sierra Leonean father and a Congolese mother , one whose mother nicknamed Koffi, already small , has become one of the most influential artists and the most beloved of his continent . It is all ready the Guinness World Record for largest number of nicknames. He is Mr. Christophe Antoine Agbepa Mumba . Known around the world under the pseudonym Koffi Olomide . Since his first album entitled " Ba Joy " in 1978 , it continues to create and adopt nicknames . It has: Koffi as called his mom and then , Antoine Makila Mabe which means "bad blood child " because the artist was born very sickly , so that you did not give him many years before him. Then, there's Koffi Olomide that the world knows ... and came through the ages a variety of denominations. As likes to repeat the Congolese singer - musician, every era has their tastes, habits and preferences. This sounds like the signs of the times to mark an indelible imprint each year among the common people. The charismatic boss of International Latin Quarter is a living legend. Nothing to say, it is the African artist who has hatched , grow , respect, get respect , give , impose, to enjoy the world face incredible challenges , dare, cause , man records the most demented , inexhaustible trainer father, a mentor , to name a few ...

He is known especially other names such as Papa Plus; Tcha - Tcho , The Life Of Commmes Zaires ; Eza Mayi , Papa Top ; Mukulu Kulu ; Effrakata ; Fololo Papa , Papa Happiness , Rapid Intervention Force ; Golden Star , World No. 1 ; Quadra Kora Man ​​, Grand Mopao ; Mopao Mokonzi , MM , High Priest Mother ; Nzambe Ya Ba Na Africa Golden Ball , BB Taste , Favorite Dish , Na Didi Papa , Papa Mourinho ; Mopao Sarkozy , Barack Obama , Young Pato , Guardiola , Rambo , Central Market , Acram - Oje ; Zando Ya Munene , Pure Again ; Patrão the Cinco Estrelas ; Koffi Central , and the newest is Thirteenth Apostle gives it a prelude his upcoming album of the same name in 2014

there fans r only from nigeria. People should stop comparing them with d trio of p square,2baba and dbanj. Damn it, p square no dey perform for inside hall again oo, na stadium those guys dey perform in now outside naija and d seats are always sold out. Put davido or wizkid for place wey b say na 3000 people e go accomodate for anywhere outside naija,I'm sure dem no go sell out d whole ticket. Flavour sef dey popular more than these guys outside naija.

congrat to them bt dey shld be more interested in where dey will spend dia enternity bcus the world gradually come to an end...Oh yes!!u ar popular n u ar being celebrated bt let it nt enter ur haed.it will be very shameful if u won all the awards and loose ur soul in hell. Repent nw bfore it will be too late.

A good list yes. However, I didn't see the likes of Koffi Olomide of Congo, Youssou N'dour of Senegal, Atif Assamani of Chad, Cheb Khaled of Algeria, Oumou Sangare of Mali, Salif Keita of Mali, Fatou Guewel of Senegal, Thomas Mapfumo of Zimbabwe, Culture of Ethiopia, Oliver Mtukudzi of Zimbabwe, Hugh Masakela of south Africa, Sunny Ade of Nigeria, KWAM1 of Nigeria (no Owambe is complete without them), and many others who are even more popular than their presidents. They all have massive fan base/following here in Europe. When I seen someone from Senegal, the 1st person I think of is Youssou N'dour. When I see my friends from Zimbabwe, Thomas Mapfumo comes to mind. If not that their president Robert Mugabe is very popular world over (for the wrong reasons), I wouldn't have known he existed.

I am not saying they are more popular than the triumvirate of D'banj, 2baba and P-square.
