Talent can not be hidened for quality, they are both natural & unique in their music genres. God bless naija. LOL
That list is nonsense.Asa is on top because she was born in France,Nneka in Germany but we all know that Tuface&D’banj according to MTV africa&MTV Europe are first and second respectively.Quote me anywhere.CNN is not a music tv
this list is correct, fine i agree wif 2face being the preffered no 1 but then nneka is so so underrated because she doesnt sing what we want to hear(nonsense) but in the international eyes, she is top class and i agree wif it coz i have listened 2 her quiet well , and we all know asa…
this is a encourageable news for lots of nigeria.

Musically,i use to call Asa my mother and 2face my father.I AM very proud of them and they use to be d ones i’m willing to be like.
proud of 2face but what about dbanj and fally.seriously right now fally rules the francophone part of african music why should yousou ndour and cesaria whatso ever be ahead of him.to me i dont even consider Asa as african apart from the fact her parents do
Big ups to Asa for being No.1 I think Nneka is underrated. Much Kudos 2 K’naan, Youssou N’dour and Ladysmith Black, they all rep Africa big time. Personally, I think Zap Mama should be checked out too. She deserves to be on the list. Keep it up!
I’m happy for Asa,thanks for making Nigerians proud,u deserve it….she has always been my role model and i know 1 day i’ll be like her.I love ur music soooo much,kudos to you
NO ONE LIKE HER IN AFRICA EVEN WITH AKON
