2baba’s success story is well documented. From the days of his struggling in Jos to dropping out of school to being part of Plantashun Boiz, he has seen it all. Now he is one of the most respected artistes in Africa.
2. Don Jazzy
Nothing was handed on a plate to the Mavin Records founder. He built a reputable brand from hard work and doing menial jobs in London before founding the now defunct Mo’Hits Records with D’banj. He has now attained a respectable status in Africa and beyond.
3. D’banj
A true entertainer, D’banj has perhaps had it a little easy because of his family background, but he has definitely sweated his way up to stardom by making some personal sacrifices. His brand now transcends just music.
4. Olamide
The one-time Bariga street kid is now one of the most successful entertainers in the country. Having patiently waited for his time under the tutelage of ID Cabasa, Baddo ruthlessly grabbed his opportunity with both hands and hasn’t looked back since.
5. Flavour
Once a drummer in a local church, then a local bar in Enugu, Flavour‘s rise to stardom has been meteoric. With his highlife style of music now embraced all over Africa, N’abania’s music has left the premises of local bars and moved to the clubs and corporate world.
6. P-Square
Forget the recent troubles rocking the Okoye brothers, they are still one of the biggest music exports from Nigeria. And it has been a hard journey for them, from dropping out of school to playing on the biggest stages on the continent.
7. Timaya
2005 was the year ‘Egberi Papa’ broke onto the airwaves with his hit, ‘Dem Mama’ and Timaya’s story has been a happy one since then. His story however started out with him helping his mother to sell plantain on the streets.
8. Wizkid
Wizzy might not have had it as rough as others on this list, but he has sure cut his teeth in the streets before becoming the Starboy he is today. Add his current giant strides on the international front, he has indeed come a long way.
