Not so many female artistes have managed to reach superstar level in the Nigerian music industry. The few who have had to work their asses off and go the extra mile to get where they are made talent, made consistency, and sometimes a little extra push from a stable record label, and boom you’re at the top.
Of course, it doesn’t come easy, but it does happen. And that’s something everyone should be grateful, that the women are not being left behind in this industry some are topping charts, doing amazing numbers, some are bagging multiple awards with 6 trackEp”s, while some are doing well on the international space, its all working out well for most of them.
And yet they got here mostly because of the singing talent that they have but who does this singing thing?.
Tiwa Savage: She’s probably the first name that will come to your mind if you think of women in the Nigerian music industry. Tiwa has been to places, has been signed by Jay Z, has competed alongside some of the best artists in the continent and being in the top league for as long as anyone can remember.
With solid albums like ‘Celia’ too, she consistently proves what she’s got, and yet she is very good.
Yemi Alade: Another name that has been around for quite a while is Yemi Alade she’s got the numbers, and on the international scene, she is one of the hottest. Her fame is definitely not a fluke, she’s worked hard to get here and her talent can’t be denied. She released her album ‘Empress’ last year, to mostly positive critical reviews
Simi: Simi has done it like no one else. Two years in a row, she had the best album in the country and she does this thing effortlessly. Her voice is very powerful and people love her for that. Last year, 2020 she came back with her EP ‘Restless 11’ which was easily one of the best projects of the year. She is no doubt a very good singer and up there with the best.
Niniola: You cannot forget Mini. No artist in this industry can actually do what Niniola is doing and has done for years now. Her unique house style gave her an edge over most of her peers and her contagious voice is just something to die for. She also put out an album “Colours and Sounds” last year, it was vibes on vibes.
Teni: Teni is Niniola’s younger sister and apparently it runs in the family since Teni’s emergence on the scene in 2017 she’s been real impressive. Her work rate is unmatched on all levels. Either it’s the effort she puts into her craft or the way she promotes her stuff, there is no question about how good Teni is, she is really one of the best.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
