Hello everyone, it's your man King0G, Nairaland's own best top 5 countdown ratings. I know you're all wondering where I've been, but I've been around, keeping a low profile. if person never chop him nor go fit talk
.SHEY YOU KNOW..AGBA BALLER.

I'm here to give you the top 5 countdown of Nigerian musicians who are in a league of their own. What's a league? Simply put, it's a class of their own, meaning no competition from your so called favorites, they're just so unique due to what they've given to the music entertainment industry over the years, and they can't be replaced locally or be compared with those who you think are at the top.

without much further adoo...
here we go... like Fabrizio.

5) ANIKULAPO KUTI AND FAMILY

This family can't just be replaced in the Nigerian entertainment industry. The pathway their dad Fela created for them still thrives till time immemorial due to the kind of music they do... too many hit songs by Fela, but tell me to name any from his children, Made and Seun, I know not one. Because I'm not really a fan of theirs, but I still see they keep the lights shining, organizing concerts in their shrine, and all, kudos to them for upholding their father's legacy, and they're definitely in a class of their own.

4) ERIGGA

what more can I say about the king of the South, this dude single handledly started music before davido, wizkid and olamide but still underated years in and years out. he say in some of his songs being depressed about not blowing worldwide and even contemplated suicide but what amuses me more is that he is in a class of his own. The street loves him and will forever give him his respect despite all the nepotism, wuru wuru and Godfatherism in the NIGERIA lagos entertainment industry.
when odumodublack take start? wetin him won rap when errigga never talk before? it just to say grace differs and all but still ERIGGA can't be displaced in the whole wide SOUTH. And all this upcomings needs to show their respect he's our own legend giving the street back to back and he is in a class of his own.

3) DONJAZZY
Well, I don't care what you call him musician, Godfather, label owner, or influencer. BROS anyone that suits you, but this big fish is in a class of his own since time immemorial. Come on, bro I saw the saga making waves the previous weeks, and all I could do was smile because most of the arguments were escalated by Gen Z kids online (born in 2005 and above) so they think they know all. Much can't be said about this man, but you and I know he doesn't really need to shut down the O2 Arena to receive his accolades... he's the one who sends you on an errand to go shut down the O3 Arena, then you come back on your knees with gratitude and a bottle of schnapps.

2) DANDIZZY

Who doesn't really know DANDIZZY? The freestyle guru... Harry Mark of our time. Well, much can't be said about him right now, but dude really had us on a choke those years on facebook asking who this ph boy was. A few years back from an interview he did. I saw how he was complaining about people asking him not to stop freestyling on school campus, bus stations, because he said he wanted to stop freestyling and focusing more on music, as it wasn't favorable to him, not generating income, and so forth but one thing he didn't realize was that he was in a CLASS OF HIS OWN (DANDIZZY, YOU F...UP). Till now, I still haven't heard any music released by you..why not just keep doing your thing.

1) FLAVOUR NABANIA

Kporokoto, kpokpo, I know I deserve an applause. Almost everybody will agree that this man deserves the number one spot for what he has done in the entertainment industry. A simple definition of a man in a class of his own. He doesn't compete with anyone. who doesn't care about international Billboard charts, awards, or nominations. A true highlife king. Dude just wants to bring good music and get invited to marriage ceremonies every weekend to perform his sweet highlife songs. Now, show me one Nigerian musician who is as contented as him. Pure class... not even your big three compares to this.

BigYash:
Using songs right? Check the title of the thread again and you will see that he is in class of his own.. He is not the kind of regular art you have around..

ogaontop:
Don jazzy is an influencer not a musician - WizKid, 2024

As for the list, you need to explain to the GenZ's why Davido, WizKid, Burnaboy, and co is not on the list!!
