Fela made afrobeats popular. Fela is a Legend internationally days of no internet. Days when wack songs don't sell. Not days like this when everybody is a celebrity.
Celebrities were rare those days but yet Fela did it for Africa.


Recently Wizkid did, then Burna boy.
Remove Froggy from the list, he only came this far by buying his way with money and playing the brains of many dull, wack youths the country is blessed with. But money has a limit. Cheating has expiry date.

Wizkid is one lucky kid. His luck changed years ago when Drake heard his Ojuelegba song and since then, Kid has been globing everywhere.

But it's just luck, not like he's among the top best singers in Nigeria. But at least, he's still better than wack frogged voice.

Fela has a lot of wacko songs too

MusicTNG:
Nice one! Our Nigerian artistes have been doing great lately, but these 2 are superb.

Not just lately they have been doing great since the time of African queen: after that song the whole world recognized Nigeria music industry then our artists started upgrading to international standards Check out musical videos and our sounds engineers and music producers shouldn’t be left out too because they played a very big role in giving us good sounds video’s that meet with international standards. The only industry that function well in Nigeria is our music industry.

MusicGNG:
For me, I think Wizkid has been doing better promotion than the rest on that list

Wizkid and Burna Boy are more talented than Davido, but one thing you can't take away from Davido is the fact that his music is purely Nigerian, and original, not a copy of some other people. Burna and Wizkid's kind of music is really more like Jamaican dancehall...that's the only issue I have with what they do. I felt somehow when Sean Paul said this, cos it is actually true.

Make una softly dey lie na. First of all Burna does not emphasize on his tribe. What matters to him is that he projects his Africaness. Secondly abeg which part of Burna is Yoruba? Hope not his proudly Edo Mother? Just so you know, both Burna and Davido have Edo mothers okay?
However at the end of the day, they are our brothers and proudly putting Africa and Nigerian map on the world and not just one ethnic group

gokay11:
Funny how some guys become mad whenever Davido name is mentioned....

I mean this guy didn't asked to be born with a sliver spoon, he was just fortunate.

Saying he bought his way to the very top is a fallacy.

If money is the only reason he's where he is today, then the like likes LAX, Cuppy, B red, Tillaman, DJ xclusive and so on should be up there with him.

Without talent you ain't going nowhere

Respect that guy.

Exactly. Don't mind all those guys that always saying Davido is solely successful as a musician because of his dad's money. They have no idea what it entails to be a success at anything and stay successful for 10 years. No be beans.

One thing I know is that without yoruba there is no Afrobeat, Afrobeat is not completed without the mention of yoruba culture

Afrobeat is now the trending music genre in the world thanks to the trio...

So true...even the newest rising star, Tems is Yoruba. Tiwa Savage is Yoruba...Yemi Alade is half Yoruba. The list goes on.

Burna boys father is Rivers Ijaw.
Harrysong is from Delta Ijaw.
Timaya and Timi Dakolo are both from Bayelsa Ijaw.
Mr 2kay that Burna boy fought with, is also Rivers Ijaw like Burna Boy.

Pere that took 3rd in this year BB Naija is Delta Ijaw.

Nengi that took 3rd in last year BB Naija is Bayelsa Ijaw, and so many more.

Sofistcatdmoron:

Fela has a lot of wacko songs too

His songs are meaningful and meant for activist movement, not for party or melody. Not really beat/studio effects that kids do nowadays where even a goat can come up with hit track since it's the good melody/beat that will cover the flaw.

Then, Fela performed live a lot. Live songs don't sound good like studio. This is what most of these artists today can't do, they do lip syncing for live performance.

Then Fela himself is a talented saxophonist, not just a singer.

Which of Wizzy or Burna or Davido can play a musical instrument? Even the song they do, they don't know anything about music. Their output is just based on studio works.

Really

SonofDevil:
burna is half yoruba half ijaw

Burna boy is not half Yoruba o his dad is from Rivers Ijaw and his mom is from Edo

Donjazzy needs to be on that list. He's done alot for the industry.

For those of you claiming Bose Ogulu (burna boy's mother) isnt yoruba, this is the tweet from the son, hear it from the mouth of the horse. Don't let anti-yoruba sentiment kill y'all.

Useless news

I hate ignorance

ignorance+arrogance= stupidity

Afrobeat(Fela's genre) is totally different from Afrobeats

just little research will help you

and if you don't know
Davido has more international fans than Wizkid and burnaboy

stop being quick to talk rubbish
thanks

ask them why his middle name is "Ebunoluwa"

Eriokanmi:
True. I remember an evening in 2019 as i was walking down the road leading to Miami Beach and i heard davido's song at a club. I was thinking the club was operated by a black or Nigerian. To satisfy my suspicion, I entered the place, only to see full whites there. They were dancing like no man's business. In PA, there is a group from a tribe called pensylvanian dutch, who tagged themselves TeamDavido

Davido would have walked in that club and they won't know who he is.
If you ask those whites they will tell you they don't know who sang the song or you will hear them describe it as one of those Afro - carribean songs

LOL. The whole world indeed. You think the whole world is like Lagos. You can walk from New york to LA and only a few people would have heard of these people.
If you have travelled at all, the same way you are hollering about these guys , thats how the Koreans are hollering about their own artists whom you uave never heard of. Same in China, middle east, Uk etc

I've seen Nigerians who dance to Michael Jackson and thinks he's from the UK. It doesn't take away from their influence.....plus these guys have won international awards so this your logic doesn't apply.
