Afrobeats is becoming one of the biggest music genres in the world with demand increasing for Nigerian music across the world which has led to more Afrobeats-styled concerts and festivals.

Platinum-selling artist Wizkid headlined the second day of the 2-day event where he delighted fans with a choice selection of his hit songs.

Asake, Wande Coal, Naira Marley and others perform at Tinubu’s inauguration concert (Video)

Asake, Wande Coal, and Brymo were among the music stars who thrilled the audience at the inauguration concert of Bola Tinubu, the president-elect.
The event, titled ‘RenewedHopeConcert’, was held at the MKO Abiola National Stadium in Abuja on Thursday night.
The concert was organised by the youths of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to celebrate the outcome of the general elections.
Some music stars who performed at the event include Pasuma, Buju, Waje, Asake, Fireboy, Kcee, Timaya, Naira Marley, Tony Tetuila, and Seyi Vibes, amongst others.
While Asake thrilled the huge crowd with some of his hit songs, Timaya left attendees stunned when he delivered a rendition of ‘As E Dey Sweet Us, E dey Pain Dem’.
It remains to be seen if the song was aimed at the new government or any opposition.
Wande Coal took to the stage to entertain the audience with a spectacular performance while Asake and Fireboy teamed up for ‘Bandana’.
“Abuja is about to experience first of its kind inauguration concert featuring all the A list artistes to the Z list,” Eniola Badmus, one of the concert organisers, earlier wrote on her Instagram page.
“Just because we believe so much in unity and one Nigeria. Election is over, let us come together as one and make Nigeria great again. The new era is called renewed hope.”
