Tems, Burna Boy break record for most Billboard Hot 100 entries by African artists

Afrobeats stars Tems and Burna Boy have made history by becoming the African artists with the most entries ever on the prestigious U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. The Nigerian duo have now each recorded eight appearances on the Hot 100, moving past South African rock band Seether, who previously shared the record with seven entries.

2Baba: Burna Boy ahead of Wizkid, Davido locally and globally

Nigerian music legend 2Baba has hailed Burna Boy as the leading Afrobeats star of the moment, saying he currently operates on a different level from peers like Wizkid and Davido. Speaking on the ‘Mic On’ podcast, 2Baba said he enjoys music from all three but, if forced to choose, he sees Burna Boy as “on the top of the game right now.” He likened judging artists to comparing painters with different styles and stressed that such rankings are ultimately a matter of taste. He explained that his view is based on his understanding of the global music landscape rather than the artists’ personal wealth or private achievements, which he said he cannot measure. According to him, Burna Boy currently tops the chain not just in Nigeria but across Africa and even on the world stage. 2Baba added that there is […]

GRAMMY 2026: I once thought Davido didn’t like me – Omah Lay

Afrobeats star Omah Lay has revealed that he once believed Davido did not like him, a misconception later cleared up before they created their Grammy‑nominated song “With You.” Speaking on the GRAMMY 2026 red carpet with OkayAfrica, Omah Lay said his perception changed after he watched a clip of Davido reacting warmly to his music at a time when he was going through a difficult period personally. “I was in the house, really, and I was going through it when I saw it, and I lost my mind,” he recalled. He admitted he had previously assumed there was tension between them. “It was the fact that I didn’t know Davido was like that. I thought we had a beef. I thought he didn’t like me,” he said. According to Omah Lay, once they finally connected, the misunderstanding disappeared quickly. “It […]

Burna Boy says he reconciled with AKA before rapper’s death

Grammy winning singer Burna Boy has revealed that he settled his rift with late South African rapper AKA privately before AKA’s death.​ In a posthumous birthday message shared on Instagram, Burna Boy expressed regret that they never got to collaborate or follow through on their plans despite making peace.​ Their feud began in 2019 after AKA was reported to have encouraged xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in South Africa, a development that led Burna Boy to publicly threaten to confront him if they ever met.​ Marking AKA’s posthumous birthday, Burna Boy wrote that they “fell out over bullshit” but later squashed their differences over Twitter DMs that nobody knew about. He said he would always regret that they never had the chance to reconnect properly or make music together.​ “Happy birthday Supa Mega… we never got the chance to really link […]

Shaffy Bello says Wizkid, Davido, Burna match Fela’s status

Seyi Sodimu says Davido could win governorship over Burna Boy

Singer Seyi Sodimu has compared the influence of Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy, saying each member of the Afrobeats Big 3 holds a different kind of power. He described Burna Boy as having conquered the stage musically, called Wizkid special, and said Davido’s influence goes far beyond music.​ Speaking on the podcast What I Know, Sodimu argued that Davido’s popularity could be strong enough to win a governorship election.
