Nas is not a Nigerian and it is Nasir, not Nasiru !! The 'Olu Dara' in his surname was given to his Father (Charles Jones III) by a Yoruba priest whom he met when he visited Nigeria. Nas rapped about it in his song ' bridging the gap'. The lyrics below

'Then he got grown, changed his name to Olu
Come on, tell 'em 'bout the places you gone to
I been to Saudi Arabia, Mozambique
Madagascar, Paris, Greece
The Middle Africa is where we lived
Better known as Queenbridge'

Op please change the title to 7 Nigerians of Yoruba/Oduduwa descendants that shaped Entertainment world

7 of them are not all Yorubas you low IQ idiot

All this year's, I am just hearing that NAS my favourite rapper of then is Nigerian and his name is Oludara

List is not complete without Sunny Ade. His name is on the Hollywood walk of fame, on the wall of the legendary 1st avenue music hall, Woodstock hall of fame etc.

Wow. So Nas is a Nigerian

Timagex:
I can bet my camera that, most people, including myself, are not familiar with the above names...

OP, there is no way you will do it without including P-Square.

They took Nigeria international before all these kpankpangolo people took over.

I think Nas was just named because the father liked the Yoruba name not because he originated from Yoruba land.

OP this should be ur list.

Op most of these people on Nairaland r kids so they won't know about these musicians. But it is good as u r enlightening them,sade, lighthouse family, seal, n lemar were part of my favorites , en Ash is also a lady who had impacted on the music in Nigeria, it is just that these people eventually don't want to come back n settle in Nigeria, but u go blame them.

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
This is an incomplete list. Without Dr. Mamman Shata the list is incomplete! He is the greatest musician to live on this planet. Rest in peace legend.

Word. but many people don't know him

I know a articular region will never be in the list but if its about terrorism, beheading, raping they will be number one to 100 as Nigerian.

God bless the South.
God bless Nigeria and God punish all jihaddist, terrorist religion rapist.

Nas is not in anyway a Nigerian. His dad was a Bishop who happened to be a neighbor to a Nigerian minister. The neighbors (i.e, the Nigerian) had a child called Nasir oluwadare,. Nas' dad loved the name and had to name his son after him.

Let's not be evenly yoke with fake info.
