Top 10 Hottest Nigerian Artistes Of 2018; The List

1. Burna Boy

If there is anyone who has performed exceptionally well to the amazement of fans and even his colleagues it has to be Damini Ogulu aka Burna Boy. A lot of us didn’t see it coming as Burna Boy worked his way to become the hottest Nigerian music star this year. This simple assertion is based on his well received album ‘Outside’ among other things. His ‘Outside’ album is the most revered LP from the Spaceship Entertainment act. The singer joined Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG), had an extensive world album tour including selling out the O2 Academy Brixton. Just when we thought the Afrofusion was done he dropped fire singles ‘Gbona’, ‘On The Low’ back to back. On the international level, Burna has graced several collaborations with stars like Lily Allen, Fall Out Boy, Major Lazer, etc. He made YouTube ‘Artiste On The Rise’ for October. As a toast, the ‘Outside’ album was reviewed by the Grammys for nomination in the World Music Category.
