Nigeria 🇳🇬 Afrobeats artists enjoying historic year in 2023

Wizkid made history on July 29 when he became the first African artist to sell out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, performing in front of 45,000 fans. It is the latest event in a record-breaking year for Afrobeats, as the music genre continues to skyrocket in popularity around the world. Look through the gallery for more historic moments from 2023.
Wizkid, pictured here during the 2023 Glastonbury Festival in June, also reached a streaming milestone when he became the first African artist to receive a BRIT Billion award — commemorating a billion streams in the UK.
In June, Burna Boy became the first African artist to sell out a show at London Stadium (pictured). He followed up with more history when he sold out a US stadium show in July, at Citi Field in New York City.
Afrobeats took center stage during the 2023 NBA All-Star Game in Salt Lake City, Utah. Rema (pictured) joined fellow Nigerian stars Burna Boy and Tems for the performance in February.
Tems, pictured here on the red carpet of the Grammy Awards in February, also made history at the 2023 Academy Awards, becoming the first Nigerian to earn a nomination for her work on a song from the film “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”
Often referred to as the “Queen of Afrobeats,” Tiwa Savage (pictured here during a performance at the Coronation Concert in May 2023) is slated to make history of her own in November, when she will become the first female African artist to headline OVO Arena Wembley in the UK.
