Since the mid-2000s, Afrobeats have been on a steady international ascension with the music traveling to other neighboring countries before gradually finding its way to the Western world.
The invaluable contributions of pacesetters like 2Baba (FKA 2 Face), P-Square, and D’banj invariably laid the foundation for the groundbreaking feats of Ice Prince, Wizkid, Davido, Tiwa Savage, and Yemi Alade who further opened the international doors for Afrobeats.
Today, Afrobeats’ international reach has grown beyond scoring one rare collaboration annually and club performances. With the immeasurable contributions of the diaspora, decisive collaborations, streaming platforms, and social media, Afrobeats is now a globally recognized genre with dedicated music charts in the biggest markets.
