Nigerian-born artist Wizkid is the number one celebrity in Nigeria and has gained international stardom due to his Afrobeat sound. He is the most popular and has become a sensation due to his recognition across continents.
Wizkid, whose actual moniker is Ayodeji Balogun, is a celebrated Nigerian entertainer and lyricist whose work has been acclaimed with multiple awards. His sound and style are considered distinct by many in the music industry.
Wizkid’s impressive fan base, which encompasses Nigeria and continues to expand across international boundaries, can attest to his success. His tracks have been featured on Queen Bey’s much-acclaimed album The Lion King: The Gift, proving the far reach of his influence.
David Adeleke, known as singer/entrepreneur Davido, is Nigeria’s second most popular musician. He has been trailblazing a successful career as an artist and entrepreneur over the past couple of years.
Davido is renowned globally for his chart-topping tunes such as “Fall” and “If.” His luxurious lifestyle and strong presence on social media platforms have contributed to his immense fame, as has the haul of awards he earned through his music.
In the third, fourth, and fifth positions were Burna Boy, Tiwa Savage, and Nollywood actress Funke Akindele respectively – according to the AI tool.
