Nigerian Musicians Many Nigerian musicians rocked the stages in 2023 as they continued their efforts to expand the acceptability of their performances in the entertainment industry. Interestingly, the majority of the efforts made by Nigerian musicians to foster the industry are individually acknowledged on social media spaces including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and so on.
To this end of the year in view, 2023, the Round Table has been able to identify three prominent Nigerian musicians who shut down social media spaces the most in 2023. The selected musicians were considered the most discussed musicians in 2023 on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu who is popularly known as Burna Boy in the entertainment industry is one of our three selected musicians who fall within the category of the most talk-about on social media platforms.
Going by his performance in the music industry and the records he is setting and breaking, Burna Boy is either being compared to other great musicians in the country or global space on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, or he is being celebrated for uttering a statement or setting records of performance.
Burna Boy's paternity, alleged relationship with late music icon, Fela Anikulapo, and his organic musical performance on stage form the basis for gaining the attention of the people on social media platforms.
Interestingly, always netizens, compare Burna Boy with industry giant and the King of Nigeria's pop street, currently, Wizkid. Fortunately, the same argument is still presently on, as Burna Boy tops the list of "Most Streamed Nigerian Artistes" on all visible streaming platforms with 8.47 billion combined streams, closely followed by Wizkid with 8.39 billion streams.

Habeeb Okikiola Oyegbile who is popularly known as Portable or Dr Zeh in the music industry is another Nigerian musician who makes the list of the most Talk-About artists on all social media platforms.
On average, Portable is known as the "Most Controversial Nigerian Singer" and he is not taking any steps to retire the tag. He is either being dragged or, most frequently, dragging others on social media platforms.
As controversial as Portable is known, he would cause trouble when there is none. However, he has not been proven to be violent in his controversial career. He is logically well-connected and creates scenes even with prominent individuals in the country that you might not have thought of having anything to do with Portable.
The bait of Portable's trend on social media platforms could be traced to his sincerity in expressing himself before the elite. He doesn't hide his originality and this steers reactions when his moment with the elites escaped to the social media platforms.
Besides, take him for that, Portable is an artiste with no exceptional regard for his fellow artists in the industry. Portable can hit anyone at any time. It seems more like he is serious with his hard-earned breakthrough in the music industry, and for many of his fellow artists had failed him in the past he saw his success as a product of hard work based on the principle of creating scenes, even when none exists.
If not for existing records and the wide range of international recognitions that Wizkid had earned, Portable could be arguably adjudged as the most talk-about Nigerian musician on social media platforms.
Wizkid

Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun popularly known as Wizkid in the entertainment industry is far ahead of any other musician in the world of social media popularity. His popularity in the music industry is like comparing Cristiano Ronaldo's online popularity with any other footballer in the world.
For a reason best known to God, if you take a keen look at it, there are hardly any two days in a week that Wizkid won't make the list of trending topics on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. At least, he makes the list five (5) times in a week and this has been consistent.
Wizkid is more of a record holder that his fellows are looking up to. His popularity, online, could be traced to his large heart, and possibly affection for luxuries.
Noticeably, Wizkid has two attributes with which he takes the lead in the Nigerian entertainment industry, and there has not been any point in time that he is compared to another musician with the two attributes in consideration; it has been one attribute with another musician. Take a look at it, Wizkid is either featured in consideration with Burna Boy based on excellent performance, or Davido based on money and financial muscle to buy whatever luxury.
Give it to him, Wizkid is the most trended Nigerian musician in 2023.
