Obama's top African artists in 2022

Former US President Barack Obama shared a list of various artists that he listens to during the summer, and several Nigerian artists made it onto his playlist.

"Every year, I get excited to share my summer playlist because I learn about so many new artists from your replies—it’s an example of how music really can bring us all together," Obama tweeted.

Tem's 'Vibe Out', 'Finesse' by Pheelz featuring Buju, and Burna Boy's 'Last Last' were among the songs that featured on Obama's list.
