The going was not all that smooth for
many Nigerian music artistes who laboured against the odds to grab a
piece of the market in 2016. While some fared well in the end, others
managed to keep their careers and heads barely above water.
Only the most creative and focused, such
as Wizkid, Falz the Bad Guy, Yemi Alade and Yemi Alade, to mention a
few, were able to shine like a thousand stars.
Wizkid
Three years after pulling out of Banky
W’s EME Records, Wizkid’s career has steadily been on the rise and the
year under review has been an excellent one for him.
The singer’s winning streak started with
the 2016 MTV Africa Music Awards in South Africa, where he emerged
winner in the Artiste of the Year, Best Male Act and Best Collaboration
out of Africa categories, respectively.
