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

Nas is not Nigerian.

TemmyT002:
Wow. So Nas is a Nigerian

Cap.

Nas no be Nigerian.
That name na nickname.

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

Monkey.

So, lemar and tempah na yoruba guys abi?

D BANJ should be on that list.

This list makes no sense. Nas a Nigerian?

You need to do some research.

I saw a video of some American College students partying and guess what? They played that Do me I do you song by P-Square. WizKid's Ojuelegba was played too.

You better add P-Square to the list.

Realhommie:
Because he's not.

Exactly!!!

Hey bruv! You just skipped speed Darlington
.

Dear OP,all these people you mentioned are of Nigerian descent. I doubt if any of them grew up in Nigeria.

These people grew up in Nigeria and they took their music globally

1. Fela (Even University of Liverpool get Fela music for their curriculum)
2. Sinach (This woman won the song of the year in the GMA Dove awards. The Dove award is one of the biggest gospel award in the world. "Way Maker is still the biggest Nigerian gospel song to go international).
3. Wiz Kid
4. Davido

Brown roof Republicans will claim anybody and anybody that is successful just to make themselves feel their people are doing well.

krayzie bones verse dope

The likes of 2-face, Nigga Raw, Sound Sultan, Julius Agwu, Banky W, Idris abdulkareem, sunny nneji, etc deserve appreciation. These are people who kept on doing the art despite Nigerian's preference for Western music. I think 2face`s African Queen and p-square's Busy Body were the game changer. They got Nigerian's to listen to Nigerian acts.

Dope list, but remove Nas from the list. Nas is not a Nigerian.

......

Nas is not Nigerian.

Ayomi90:
Dem use talent swear for Yorubas, always leading. God bless this tribe jare

Throwback:
Nas is not Nigerian.

Just that his father took up a Yoruba name (Oludara) during the Africanism consciousness that enveloped black America in the 50s and 60s.

Nas is Nasil not Nasir.

You're right about him not being Nigeria, but his name is definitely Nasir, not Nasil

miketayo:
Ur niece was right, those stars are Americans and British, yeah they r Nigerians by birth or lineage, doesn't mean they rep Nigeria. If u mentioned fela or king sunny ade it would have made more sense

Exactly! I was looking for Fela's name on his list.

The people you mentioned were Nigerians who had nationalised as American or British living out there,she meant our own living here,started here and made it in this hell hole

gibsonwales:
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'

God bless you.

How did they shape entertainment industry worldwide?

Was expecting to see legends of old.

He isn't Nigerian...his dad acquired that name some time in the 70s. Nas has no Nigerian roots.

TemmyT002:
Wow. So Nas is a Nigerian

He isn't... OP is incorrect with that one

No mention of Majek Fashek?
At his prime, Majek was tha bomb. Watched one of his perfomance in America on Youtube, you need to see how Americans danced to his beats.
I only wished he never abused those substance.
May our good God continue to rest his soul.

Pharaoh4rin:
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.

Nas dad a bishop? Please where did you hear this one? Nas dad has always been and still is a musician... He traveled the world in the 60s and 70s, that's when he adopted that name. He is Muslim, so he named his sons, Nasir and Jabari... He didn't name Nas after any neighbor's son.

FELA and Femi Kuti should be there.
