Nigerian Afrobeats stars Rema and Ayra Starr are making fresh waves on the international stage, with their latest singles climbing steadily on the UK charts this month.
Rema’s Fun and Ayra Starr’s Hot Body are drawing widespread acclaim, further cementing Afrobeats as one of the world’s fastest-growing music genres.
The two artistes have become key drivers of Afrobeats’ global rise.
Rema, 25, born Divine Ikubor, shot to fame in 2019 with Dumebi and gained worldwide recognition with his 2022 smash hit Calm Down.
Ayra Starr, 23, whose real name is Sarah Oyinkansola Aderibigbe, signed under Mavin Records, broke into international stardom with her 2022 single Rush, which earned her a nomination at the 66th Grammy Awards for Best African Music Performance.
Industry analysts say their current chart success underscores Afrobeats’ ability to consistently compete on global platforms, while also boosting Nigeria’s cultural profile.
The growing influence, they add, is opening new doors for international collaborations, investments, and opportunities for emerging Nigerian talents.
With Rema and Ayra Starr leading the charge, Afrobeats continues to strengthen its position as one of Nigeria’s most powerful cultural exports.
