Behold! Naija Artistes Women Are Falling For
Music is the language of
the soul as they say and every music lover knows listening to a song you like can make you feel a lot of things at once. The music industry in Nigeria has grown over the years and more Nigerian artistes keep getting global recognition for their music. These days, women not only want to move to their songs, their hot body and swagful personality triggers many other things.
It’s not every day you find yourself wishing to be held by a musician because of his physique or his lips but it seems some of our favourite artistes have perfected the act of making girls swoon over them. Asides from the great tunes that have girls rocking, their faces and mannerism also have girls blushing and some feeling funky in various parts of their body. Below are the Nigerian artistes that are confusing Nigerian ladies.
1. Burna Boy
It’s not just his Raggae-dancehall songs that have the girls wanting more from this talented singer. Damini Ogolu was born in 1991 and hails from Rivers State. The Fela inspired musician released a hot song back in 2012. The song had every lady rethinking guys they turned down as per the lyrics of the song. The “Omo Aristocrat” as he calls himself is a favourite of many.
2. Peter Of Psquare
When you meet a man that can sing and dance, two things come to mind; hot and incredibly hot. Peter is one of the Okoye twins, born in 1981. He and his identical twin developed a flare for music back in secondary school and both have been unstoppable ever since. Peter might be married, but still reps in the well-built body department, which has girls wishing many things.
3. Iyanya
You know the things they say about Calabar ladies and guys. Well Iyanya is a clear representation of that, stereotypical thought. The ‘Kukere’ singer has an amazing physique and to top it off, his dance moves are fire!
4. Flavour
Who doesn’t like some Flavour in their life? Chinedu Okoli is that Igbo boy that will literally make you blush at first sight. Not only in he multi-talented, the Enugu-born musician started his career at the early age of 13. With a couple of h it tracks off his long list of albums. Flavour is easily the go-to-choice for weddings. Although, we are not sure how grooms feel having this out-of-a magazine sexy man perform at their wedding, we are sure the singer is very entertaining and his melody is sweet.
5. Lynxx
Remember the hit song, ‘Change Your Parade’ by Lynxx ? the song made girls picture Lynxx as a knight in shinning armour looking to change the parade of the girl of his dreams. With his gorgeous physique and cute face, it was not difficult to have the ladies swooning, Lynxx these days is the man every girl wants to take home as he’s gotten more spiritual and still hot. If you want a fine Godly man with a loaded wallet, look no further.
6. Dbanj
From his sexy body, to his Afropop fusion tunes, to the size of his bank account, D banj turns on the ladies in more ways than one. The Koko master himself was born in 1981 and started his music career in 2004 with the hit single, “Tongolo.” Oladapo Daniel Oyebanko is a recipient of various music awards and signed on to Kanye’s record lable, G.O.O.D music as a recording artiest. There have been rumours of the hot guy getting hooked secretly, this however, does not stop his female fans from wanting more of all he has to offer.
Spotify yesterday revealed a significant surge in heartbreak song streams in Nigeria during the Valentine’s Day season, with a 626 percent increase between 2022 and 2024.
This was disclosed in a statement issued in Lagos, Nigeria by Spotify’s Head of Music, Sub-Saharan Africa Phiona Okumu.
Okumu said, “Spotify data reveals a surprising trend, a massive surge in heartbreak song streams.
“Nigerians are turning to their playlists to express their emotions, with a staggering 626 per cent overall growth in heartbreak streams from 2022 to 2024.
“This Valentine, the sound of love is accompanied by the sound of heartbreak, and the data shows it’s louder than ever before.”
She said on Valentine’s Day, most surprisingly, male listeners streamed heartbreak songs at a significantly higher rate than female listeners, with a 362 per cent increase compared to 169 per cent among women.
“This could suggest that men resonate with the feeling of heartbreak more and turn to music as a private outlet for processing emotions.
“Whatever the reason, one thing is clear, when love is in the air, so is heartbreak and Nigerian men are pressing play on their pain more than expected.
“While Valentine’s Day is often celebrated with grand gestures, heartbreak is a common theme on Valentine’s Day -more than what’s publicly shown,” she said.
Nigerians will join their counterparts across the world to mark the 2025 Valentine’s today.

Fashion and beauty entrepreneur, Toyin Lawani, has claimed she is enduring back pain and that her spine is degenerating.
Lawani revealed this in a video posted on social media last Tuesday.
In the clip, she opened up about her experience with epidural anesthesia, an injection administered to pregnant women in the spine to reduce pain during childbirth.
The mother of three claimed that since receiving the injection, she has not felt like herself.
She accused doctors of not fully informing women about the long-term side effects of epidurals.
According to Lawani, she received the anesthetic injection during the birth of her last two children.
She said, “When you hear ‘epidural,’ run. Doctors tell you about the side effects but do not tell you about the long-term effects on your body. I have about three friends having the same issues that I am having.
“Like, I am just 42, how did I end up with spine issues? I have a degenerating spine. I have implants in my spine. I go paralyzed. I can’t stand for a long time. I can’t even breathe properly sometimes because it affected so many things in my body when I had the surgery.
“They will not tell you because you just want the pain to go away. I have had two epidurals. I had my first as natural birth. The last two were epidural. The last one I had epidural because I had to undergo a surgery and I had no choice.
“See, the pain does not stop. My back is killing me and my spine is degenerating.”
