Nigerian artists might leave you waiting for a good 30 minutes to an hour before they start their shows, but they’ll definitely make the wait worth it. From their stage presence to the props and theatrics, these artists will give you a show of your lifetime.
Rema
At this point, we might have to change Rema’s name to Crowd Controller. Once Divine climbs that stage, he’ll have the crowd eating out the palm of his hands. Another thing is certain: He’ll do it with all the finesse in the world.
Ayra Starr
From her bad gyal fits to her vocals and audience engagement on stage, Ayra Starr has never been known not to give a show.
Davido
We knew Davido was in his live performance bag when he dropped out of the sky at his 2018 Eko Atlantic concert. Since then, it’s been back-to-back finishing for anyone that goes to see him perform. He’ll utilize every inch of his stage, and have all his friends and family come to perform, because after all, “We rise by lifting others”.
Burna Boy
Burna Boy has mastered the art of live performances. He might show up a couple hours late and spend the first 30 minutes on that stage going off on everyone. But once he starts his performance, all the anger that’s been building up in you will vanish, and you’ll be in awe.
Wizkid
They don’t call him Big Wiz for nothing: He’s shut down the 02 arena in London three times in a row. Best believe Ayodeji Wizkid Balogun is walking on that stage to giveyou a show. And he’ll bring out other people to join in on that show.
Asake
Asake had an insane run in 2022 and decided to take the insanity out of the studio and to the stage. He’ll perform live renditions of his songs, and they won’t sound the same as the studio recording. As long as he thinks it’ll make you have a good time, Mr. Money will deliver it.
Shallipopi
The president of Pluto might be new in the game, but he’ll certainly entertain you and leave you begging for more. He knows his audience can sing his entire discography word for word. He’s also very aware that his discography isn’t very long, so he’ll dance and hype the crowd up and have everyone screaming his song back at him. Shallipopi will have a good time on that stage and show his plutomanias are having a good time, too.
