Obama releases his list of favourite artistes and give Oluwa Burna Boy a nod

Let no one tell you that Burna Boy did not dominate 2019. That was the year the rest of the world woke up to the greatness of the Fela Kuti inspired MC from River State. And even Obama sat up and took notice of the fact. He tweeted the artistes he had been listening to in the past year and Burna Boy aswell as fellow compatriot Rema made it on the list. For Rema, this is the second year in a row for the artiste who is poised for greatness.

From hip-hop to country to The Boss, here are my songs of the year. If you’re looking for something to keep you company on a long drive or help you turn up a workout, I hope there’s a track or two in here that does the trick. pic.twitter.com/mQ2VssyDwt
