February Gen Z pick: Can Nigerian artists take over the global music industry and the grammys?

The 2025 Grammy Awards proved to be another defining moment for Nigerian music on the global stage. With artists like Tems, Burna Boy, and Wizkid making waves and solidifying Afrobeat’s dominance, it’s clear that Nigerian music is no longer just a regional treasure—it’s a global force. These wins and nominations don’t just symbolise individual success; they represent a movement that’s breaking barriers, redefining culture, and showing the world the power of African artistry.

For Gen Z, the energy is unmatched. Nigerian artists aren’t just winning trophies; they’re inspiring a new generation to dream bigger, embrace their roots, and take pride in their culture. But beyond the glitz, the question remains: are these wins shifting the narrative of global music? And how do young Nigerians feel about their role in making this takeover happen?
