Nigeria is the most populous black nation in the world, you have a Nigerian community in every country so they are the one spreading the gospel of Afro Beats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the entire universe saw the kind of numbers AfroBeats artists are doing in the continent they had no choice but to align with the genre.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing is impossible with the rate our music is growing. We\u2019ve done so much for African music and we are at the forefront of African music. No disrespect to other countries but if you take Nigeria out of African music what you have is not much.
