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.
