In the midst of a heated feud between new and old cats in the music industry, Spotify has made a bold claim. According to the popular streaming service, many talented performers such as Burna Boy, Rema, and Tems owe their success to the countless music lovers who have walked so that they could run.
The streaming service recently made a statement regarding the highly acclaimed Afrobeats genre hailing from Nigeria.
Research has showed that most Africans credit the genesis of the genre to Nigeria, a west African nation, with as many as 29% of Ghanaians agreeing that Fela is its founding father, they had discussed in their piece.

“Over the past decade, the Afrobeats genre has exploded spectacularly on the global stage, amassing over a billion monthly stream on Spotify. But despite garnering die-herd fens from Canada to Kenya, few know the journey the genre hes taken. And much like the age-old question of who makes the best joliof rice, it’s between the two West African nations of Nigeria and Ghana for creating the genre that set the world on fire.
Obi Asika, CEO of Storm Record, one of Nigeria’s pioneering music labels, describes kt best when he says: “Afrobests brings that unique ONA…it is very hard not to like the music…You would literally have to be a piece of stone not to move to our [Afrobeats] music.”
The genre that unites so many, for many different reasons, has a rich history with its feet in two countries and its roots in many different genre. A lot of people walked, so the likes of Rema, Burne Boy, and Tems could run.”
