See your level of reasoning and you called yourself a woman. Hhmmm nawah ooo.

If a woman like you could be these politically twisted and hateful then their is a problem somewhere.

Anyway pls don't digress the thread, everything is not about Tinubu or the the f u c-king Chicago shit pls allow us to celebrate these guys ok.

Thanks.....

JaySmart4422:
Sometimes I laugh at you people

If your parents have the kinda money Rama's parents have you will be heard globally.

If you have money like WizKid , davido or Burnaboy you will blow internationally

Money makes all this happen no magic at all

All artists sign under donjazzy are from wealthy homes no poor man pikin
If you like believe if you like no believe.

All Na money dey work

PepeXKermit:
Can you imagine in your wildest imagination that a NIGERIAN woman can be so skewed mentally to talk about politics not to even talk of typing the way that mofo typed? That person is a Kunle who lives in a tattered neighbourhood and most likely does not have a job. There are many of them here parading themselves as women but the way they talk always gives them out.

We all know that it's a dream of every musician to be heard globally, and once you get into the American industry, you're almost there.

There were those who attempted, those who failed, and those who are still trying today, with the hope of being heard one day.


I am presenting you with the top 5 countdown Nigerian musicians who have successfully penetrated the American industry and achieved global recognition.


Once again I repeat top 5
So whoever you think should be here might be in my top 50.. thank you.




5) WIZKID

we all know when wizkid started 2009/2010 signed by banky w we always knew he was a star. I mean the freestyle he did on Tim Westwood TV still remains one of the best ever done by an African artist till date. he went on to feature drake, chris brown and even wrote for some of them. wizkid penetrated deep I must say for selling 02 arena several times even if it's london but he has penetrated into the america spotlight with undying love from fans home and abroad.



4) DAVIDO

Being known is one thing, but being consistent is another. The American-born Nigerian singer doesn't slack at all, even without a Grammy award. He is known globally because of his hard work and consistency. He did numerous features with america artist and friends with them too. I believe the last time one of them came to nigeria, davido sent is fleet of cars to go pick him. Mention davido overseas in the uk, USA, almost all music lovers knows the name.



3) BURNA BOY
one of the most controversial musician from Nigeria can't be over looked, burnaboy is notably known abroad not just for is grammy AWARDbut as AFRICA GIANT. he's energetic looks, energetic performance gives him much stance. He has done several samples of america musicians songs that even blew way more than the original songs and one can't help to say how unique he is despite the attacks he gets from all angles people calling him the king of samples...(but last I checked, I heard a lil durk gave him an invite to remix his song "all my life" which is currently out)



2) FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI
if I don't mention the legend himself, the king of afrobeat, the pioneer himself. What will be my gain? Fela was known during the time all over the globe and I wonder how he did it. When they were hardly any promotions, radio stations, tv sets and the rest unlike now that they is streaming apps all over. Social media site and the rest. Yes fela is number 2 because he create the way for all the afro beats today in african. Rest on king.

1) REMA

I have never seen an african musician who rose to global recognition as fast as rema. This was a kid who literally started in 2018 freestyling from his parent vehicle then upload it on the internet. Viola he was quickly picked by don jazzy signed to mavin records, changed his genre from hip-hop to afro party pattern and HERE WE GO like fabrizio. Baby calm down! Calm down. A song nigeria thought were nursery's rhymes was accepted all over the world even as far as indian, china, meanwhile in nigeria it barely even had good time play. The remix he did with selena gomez and the relationship rumours helped to spice up everything and I must say rema is one of the most global afrobeat musician as at now.

turmacs:
I've never seen a people with so much inferiority complex like Nigerians and Indians..

Blazebond:

Abagworo:
Tems pernetrated American market more than them all. What did you smoke by skipping her? Ckay also did well with "Love Nwantiti" which is 4x Platinum in the US.

omoredia:
The American market responds to intellegence in ur music. The likes of Asake or Olamide are for the local streets

JayVicky:
So, songs like WAP and Anaconda qualify as "intelligent" music. Don't let your inferiority complex kill you.

Beverlyjean:
No Nigerian Artists have won the number of MTV awards like dbanj .... without people like Dbanj , 2 face and psquare that carved the way for people like these ones u posted.... they were the ones that made the world recognise new Africa Afrobeats ... do u know how big Oliver twist was ...just because social media is helping promoting these news bees ... during the Olympics in London , during the basketball game between usa and Germany... Oliver twist was played during their break... in the longest running TV programme on uk TV ( East Enders ) Oliver twist was played .... Oliver twist was the first Nigerian song that made billboard top ten
