Big Talent, Broken System: The Industry Behind Afrobeats

Afrobeats Shines Globally, But at What Cost? Afrobeats has taken the world by storm. From Davido and Wizkid to Burna Boy and Tiwa Savage, Nigerian artists are topping international charts, winning global awards, and headlining major festivals.

While the sound is thriving internationally, many artists still struggle with broken systems at home , including weak legal protections, outdated distribution models, and exploitative contracts.
