In this video, we are going to a create a tier list of Nigerian artists using the following ratings: GOATed, Super Artiste, Good Artiste, Average Artistes and Bad Artistes The listed ratings are based on their popularity, number of hits songs, awards, and general likeability.

This is going to be Interesting and I hope you enjoy the content. Please, make sure you like the video, subscribe to the channel and turn on the notification bell.

‌1. The first artiste I will be reviewing is Mayorkun. Mayorkun is one of Nigeria's fastest-growing entertainers. He is a talented singer and songwriter. His talent and expertise can be heard in his beautiful vocals and lyrics.

He signed a record deal with (DMW) in 2016. He has couple of hit songs like Eleko, Mama, Che Che, Geng, Sade and Bobo.

He has also won 9 awards in his career with the highest being the Headies award for the best R&B/Pop album. With his accolades, I will put him in the good artist category.


2. Next, I'll take a look at Runtown Runtown is a singer and songwriter. He rose to fame for his hit songs like Gallardo and MadOverYou. He also has other hit songs like Boddy Riddim and Lagos to Kampala.

He has won a total of 3 awards with the highest being Vodafone Ghana Music Awards for African artiste of the year and Soundcity MVP Awards Festival Viewer Choice. I'll put him in average artiste catogory.

3‌. Next, we have my favorite artiste, Rema. Did you know Rema stole a kiss from Selena Gomez? Shsssss.

Rema is a singer, rapper and songwriter, let's just say he is multi talented. Every song Rema drops is always a hit. I'm sorry, the dude doesn't miss. From hits like Dumebi, Calm down, Soundgasm, Woman, Bounce to Iron man.

He has also won 3 awards. I am almost tempted to put him in the GOATed category but he is still young in the game, he is the future GOAT. So Rema is a super artiste.

4‌. D for Davido my man, OBO! There is no need for any introduction when it comes to Davido but I'll do a short one regardless.

He is a Nigerian-American music superstar, singer, songwriter, record producer and music executive. Davido came out unto the commercial music scene in 2012 and after a decade he has not stopped releasing hit songs, from Fem, Fia, Risky, Jowo, Blow My Mind, Fall and Skelewu.

He has won a total of 18 awards. He is a Super Artiste, LOL, I'm just kidding, he is GOATed! Davido is GOATed.

‌5. Up next is Adekunle Gold Adekunle Gold is a musician, highlife singer, songwriter and graphic designer.

A force to be reckoned with in the Nigerian music industry and has been, over time, releasing some of the best music, years after years. His hits include High, Sade, Orente, Ariwo Ko.

He has a total of 7 awards with the highest being Best Africa music Artist. I will put him in the super category.

6. Next, we have the Queen of Afrobeat, Tiwa Savage. She is just too good, man. She makes making hit songs easy. Apart from being a great vocalist, Tiwa Savage is also a very good songwriter, having written songs for several A-listers.

Tiwa Savage has been cited as an inspiration and/or influence by Ayra Starr and other upcoming female artists.

She has won a total of 6 awards, if there is a category between GOATed and super, that's where she is supposed be but to be fair enough, she is GOATed. Tiwa Savage is in the GOATed category

7. The history of female musicians in Nigeria will not be complete without mentioning the vocalist, Niniola.

Niniola is a vocalist, singer and songwriter. Her younger sister is the famous Nigerian singer, Teni, whose full name is Teniola Apata. She has released hit songs like Maradona Riddim, Magun (2017), Ibadi, Omo Rapala.

She has also won 6 awards with her highest being All Africa Music award. I'm not sure of her catetogry, average or good. Hmmm let go with average artist.

8. I don't know this artiste, Timi dakolo. I've not heard any of his song before.

He has won 3 awards. He is not a bad artist but he will have to be rated one here I'm sorry. Bad artist.

9. The next artist, king in the East, Phyno, indigenous rapper. I love Phyno, especially on Man of the Year.

Phyno has several hit songs like Fadafada, Yayo, High Way, Alobam, Ghost Mode. Phyno has won total of 5 awards. I will put him in the super category.

10. Joeboy is not my favorite boy, I prefer Fireboy but regardless, I will be fair to him.

Joeboy is one of the fastest-rising musicians in the Nigerian music industry.

The R&B and Afro-pop singer rose to fame after releasing his song, Baby. He has released several hit songs after that, the likes of Baby, Beginning, Don’t Call Me Back ft Mayorkun, Call and Sip Alcohol.

He has won 2 awards. I will put him in the super category.


11. Even before saying anything, Wizkid is GOATed, if there is a category higher than GOATed, Wizkid will be there alone.

He has a total of 80 awards, a legend, a GOAT, a super star. Give it up for Wizkid the GOAT.

12. Even though her Dad is a billionaire, DJ CUPPY still puts in the work like everyone else.

She is good artist and has got a good work ethic. Cuppy is actually a DJ but released her songs anyway, songs like Gelato and Greenlight are the ones I remembered now. I will put her in the average category.

13. Simi my love, Simi is a singer, actress, songwriter, sound engineer and record producer. I love her voice, it can't be matched by anyone else.

She is one of the best female artist in Nigeria. She has several hit songs and my favorite is Duduke and Joromi. She has won 10 awards, she is in the super category.

14. I'm not a fan of Falz, I don't really listen to his music. That's my personal opinion. But I love his collaboration with Simi on Soldiers and Foreign. He is an average artist.

15. Next, we have Teni professionally known as Teni the Entertainer, she is a Nigerian-American singer, songwriter and entertainer.

A good vocalist, she is sister to Niniola. She has won a total of 9 awards, she is in the good artist category.

16. Burna boy, another favourite artist of mine, Oluwa Burna. You need no introduction. You are GOATed

If any artiste is putting Nigeria on the map right now, its Burna Boy. Dude is even outselling American artists on tour. I love the elements from Fela in his songs. He has won 23 awards. Burna is GOATed.

17. Mr Eazi is not my type of artist but I will be fair to him, he is a good artist. This is not because he snatched my Crush, Temi. I don't care about that, he is good artist.

18. The Baddo himself, Olamide. The local rapper that produced world stars. Olamide is a rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer.

If the world understood Yoruba, Olamide would have been in Wiz, Burna and David category in terms of world wide recognition but regardless, he is still in the GOATed category.

19. Naira Marley is just like Olamide with a spark of craziness. He is a super artist.

20. Yemi Alade, the beauty goddess. She is a songwriter, an afro-pop singer, a Nigerian activist, and an actress. She is a super artist.

21. Zlanta ibile, the controversy King until he was dethroned by Portable. He is just a good artist

Yours Sincerely, Hype!

This is a stupid rank from a stupid poster! The fact that you rate Rema ahead of Mayorkun, call Timi Dakolo a bad artiste, and your lack of understanding of musical artistry makes the stupidity of this OP even more prominent.
