Nigerian artists have constantly shaped the face of music in the country by placing us on the global map. At this point, there’s no doubt that we’re great hosts of talents as a country because in literally every global project, there’s a Nigerian in the storyline. Some of the hit projects that Nigerian artists have been involved in include ‘Move’ where Beyoncé featured Tems and Grace Jones, “Under the influence” by Chris Brown, co-written by Kiddominant, “Ruin” where Usher featured Pheelz, “ Won’t be late” by Drake produced by Tekno, amongst others.
This growing international presence isn’t just by chance—it’s a testament to the versatility, creativity, and relentless work ethic of Nigerian artists. From producing chart-topping hits to penning lyrics behind the scenes and delivering unforgettable performances, they’ve proven time and again that they’re not just participants in the global music scene but key players shaping its direction. These collaborations not only spotlight Nigerian talent but also serve as cultural bridges, blending Afrobeat rhythms with global sounds and introducing the world to our unique sonic identity.
