Ayra Starr Crowned Spotify’s Queen of Afrobeats

Ayra Starr is ruling the Afrobeats scene.

Streaming giant Spotify has named the Nigerian songstress the Top Female Afrobeats Artiste of the Last 12 Months.

Spotify hailed her as “the pop star of Afrobeats,” highlighting her growing influence on the global music stage.

She leads a powerful list with Grammy winning Nigerian singer Tems in second place.

American Cameroonian sensation Libianca is third, Malian French star Aya Nakamura is fourth, and British Nigerian artiste Darkoo is fifth.

Fans noted the surprising absence of South African star Tyla, who won several Afrobeats awards over the past year.

Spotify also released the Top 5 Afrobeats Artists in Latin America, a list dominated by Nigerian talent.

Rema tops the chart, Ayra Starr is second, CKay is third, Burna Boy is fourth, and Wizkid is fifth.
