The top three over the last four years have been Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy. But as things stand, there seems to be a new entrant, Rema.

The conversation of Rema being the biggest artiste in Nigeria at the moment gained more traction after his performance at the Ballon d'Or 2023.

This came after winning Artist of the Year at the Headies and the Trace Music Awards. All of these feats he achieved being nominated in the same categories as Burna Boy, Davido, Wizkid and Asake.

It has been a massive year for the young singer from Edo State.
