I'm talking about international exposure, you are talking about filling a stadium in Nigeria. Which kind talk be that?
Even Small Doctor will fill Agege stadium, so what are you saying?
International exposure is all bro. That's the ultimate.

They can rate you in your village but no one knows you where it matters. You will only be in your village singing at birthdays, weddings and funerals while your mates are maxing out venues in the land of those who colonised you.

Go and watch Wizkid bring out Chris Brown in the UK after Chris Brown couldn't enter the UK for more than a decade. That's what I'm talking about bro.
"No one knows you where it matters"? So Nigerian scene doesn't matter? Firstly, all the artistes I mentioned earlier are known internationally and are killing it in their own space. I like Asake but I could never understand what he says so I rarely listen to him. I do like that he's focused on doing his own thing, no unnecessary noise and hype from his corner. Everyone has their own preference in music, I just prefer actual lyrics/substance over beats and noise

Tuface sing for yoruba or flavour , are they not A-list singers? Burna boy's mom is an Edo woman, did fela not sing most of his songs in pidgin abi he was an igbo man? Stop this yeye tribalism, there's nothing special about yoruba or other tribes. Humanity and Africa first. Yet you no support sunday igboho, evil competition in a country where people are crammed together without their permission. Mr Yoruba take time o!
pointless

Which popular single was recorded in Yoruba?
You wouldn't be asking this question if you understood what you're arguing about.

Good for him.

You are not current.
"Drille is a talented artist known for his impressive discography, which includes popular songs in both English and Yoruba languages."
In fact, one of his popular singles was recorded in Yoruba.
Omo! I see the truth in this o.

Even in gospel, on average musicians with Yoruba background go farther than others from other ethnic background.

If I were to advice anyone who wants to take the Nigerian music scene by storm, the advice would be to integrate theirself into the Yoruba culture. You don't even need to be Yoruba to reap from this, just immerse yourself in the culture and learn the language.

It's same way you're more likely to go internacional if you sing in English than in French, Italian or any other language.

You will just ask yourself if you want to be arguing whose tribe is the best or if you want to blow and make money.

Where's the argument bro? I follow JD on boomplay, I love his releases, he's probably the only artiste I'll pay almost anything to watch perform. I am not aware of any of his songs that he did in Yoruba which is why I asked for the title of the song to search it out. Except you were fibbing and there is no song like that?

Without singing in Yoruba Language, you can't succeed in music in Nigeria.

You will just be a birthday and beer parlour singer, nothing for you.
Just the way Phyno has been singing in Yoruba or perhaps the way that one that impregnates girls up and down after singing
" pariboto, popo, pariboto has been singing in Yoruba.

The little success achieved by Chike is because he sings in Yoruba.
Tuface got fame by singing in Yoruba.

Brain dead idiot.

Phyno was a nobody before Olamide picked him. His partnership with Olamide opened him up to the Lagos music market and gave him some leverage. As he stopped releasing songs with Olamide, he's finished. He's currently struggling with Jerique in the East.

Tuface is nobody outside Nigeria. His only claim to fame outside Naija was the song African Queen. After that, nothing. Popular in Naija, nobody outside.
As for Chike, apart from weddings and birthdays, where else? Can he headline any show in the major music capitals of the world?

There is a reason why at every given time, the top 5 musical artistes in Nigeria are people who sing in Yoruba.

I know it pains you, but it's not my fault. It is what it is.
