In Nigerian music, the last few years have seen a bold contingent of creative women advance the borders of what is possible for women in music, even in Nigeria\u2019s patriarchal society. The music scene is still far from having an ideal balance of male and female stars, but considering the male-orientedness of the industry\u2019s artists and background players, this group deserves even more praise for their ability to rise above all obstacles and occupy the section they do now. In doing so, they become a shining light to women in every field, an encouragement that women can rise to the top and pull down age-long barriers. Here are ten women, cut across generations and genres, who are lighting up the Afrobeats scene in 2024.<\/p>\n<div class=\"npf_row\">\n<div class=\"npf_col\">\n<figure class=\"tmblr-full\"><a class=\"post_media_photo_anchor\" data-big-photo=\"https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/0fce6bb0f257711bc22f04fdf54dff1c\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-84\/s1280x1920\/54de9bc0ee2c96ccf5db0e3b7cdbc677ae7bb6a7.jpg\" data-big-photo-height=\"1481\" data-big-photo-width=\"1179\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post_media_photo image\" src=\"https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/0fce6bb0f257711bc22f04fdf54dff1c\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-84\/s1280x1920\/54de9bc0ee2c96ccf5db0e3b7cdbc677ae7bb6a7.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/0fce6bb0f257711bc22f04fdf54dff1c\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-84\/s75x75_c1\/9a5e10dce2e657950155b1a066651a4e9492e695.jpg 75w, https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/0fce6bb0f257711bc22f04fdf54dff1c\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-84\/s100x200\/483f3b5ae8c74f04b1e80266480edc3edbf200ae.jpg 100w, https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/0fce6bb0f257711bc22f04fdf54dff1c\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-84\/s250x400\/27b76fb2fd28d70f7276b8bcb8911848f4e7dc5b.jpg 250w, https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/0fce6bb0f257711bc22f04fdf54dff1c\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-84\/s400x600\/50a8fe63714e7f5e0457e8b8810630ddab7fa7c1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/0fce6bb0f257711bc22f04fdf54dff1c\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-84\/s500x750\/d3121f7c6c01de87a871bd0a3e7bc9b1af8ea0d1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/0fce6bb0f257711bc22f04fdf54dff1c\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-84\/s540x810\/47513873d8a9e305c9a59f893f497a2ab5f3b5ed.jpg 540w, https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/0fce6bb0f257711bc22f04fdf54dff1c\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-84\/s640x960\/3a0593da7edda148062f72752f90fc88bdb2cb28.jpg 640w, https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/0fce6bb0f257711bc22f04fdf54dff1c\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-84\/s1280x1920\/54de9bc0ee2c96ccf5db0e3b7cdbc677ae7bb6a7.jpg 1179w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1179px) 100vw, 1179px\" alt=\"image\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>Tems<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Tems<\/b>\u00a0rocketed to global fame with \u201cEssence\u201d and remained there via collaborations with Drake, Future and Rihanna, and brought her entire discography with her in this terrific journey, as a result of which even her most obscure releases from the past have been showered with millions of streams.

She made her debut in 2014 via a series of catchy, playful singles\u2014\u201cE No Go Funny\u201d, \u201cOpen And Close\u201d, and \u201cJamb Question\u201d and its Falz-featuring remix, before diving into the romantic depths, a field her vocals were always made to excel at. Her eponymous debut album arrived in 2017, bringing the arc of her introduction to a fitting close, and since its release, it has been an unstoppable upward journey for the songstress. Her most recent offering,\u00a0<b>To Be Honest<\/b>, consolidated on her growth even further, as she scripted tales of life, love and friendship into one coherent package, and its reception proves her place in the music scene remains secure.<\/p>\n<div class=\"npf_row\">\n<div class=\"npf_col\">\n<figure class=\"tmblr-full\"><a class=\"post_media_photo_anchor\" data-big-photo=\"https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/c966858e150a202eb3119a6f53972320\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-2b\/s1280x1920\/536dd316dd19865bd1acdc50270e2533a9aeb04b.jpg\" data-big-photo-height=\"1463\" data-big-photo-width=\"1179\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post_media_photo image\" src=\"https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/c966858e150a202eb3119a6f53972320\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-2b\/s1280x1920\/536dd316dd19865bd1acdc50270e2533a9aeb04b.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/c966858e150a202eb3119a6f53972320\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-2b\/s75x75_c1\/9afe33eebaf30b9d7119b5a00338905920fef4f6.jpg 75w, https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/c966858e150a202eb3119a6f53972320\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-2b\/s100x200\/459d45ba4507df8ce29ea4f42cf0174dad5a50d3.jpg 100w, https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/c966858e150a202eb3119a6f53972320\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-2b\/s250x400\/183482fa194279376542450132206fb59cefb336.jpg 250w, https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/c966858e150a202eb3119a6f53972320\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-2b\/s400x600\/ed633bd45e2aa5e0a9e26aeb4bd58afa0ae6daff.jpg 400w, https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/c966858e150a202eb3119a6f53972320\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-2b\/s500x750\/e7180e0a8b9ab329a311b4512def59c05eb13373.jpg 500w, https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/c966858e150a202eb3119a6f53972320\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-2b\/s540x810\/13b7297630fc88a8a69976831d0281148cc57602.jpg 540w, https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/c966858e150a202eb3119a6f53972320\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-2b\/s640x960\/b7becc258978583ab9e6d86b1411b8e11a51154a.jpg 640w, https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/c966858e150a202eb3119a6f53972320\/eb3bf4f7145a6a69-2b\/s1280x1920\/536dd316dd19865bd1acdc50270e2533a9aeb04b.jpg 1179w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1179px) 100vw, 1179px\" alt=\"image\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>Niniola<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Nigeria\u2019s queen of Afro-House gets a lot less credit than she deserves, but Nigeria\u2019s Amapiano-directed era, borrowing heavily from South Africa, was foreshadowed by her genre-bending \u201cMaradona\u201d way back in 2017.
