Furthermore, the economic instability has significantly affected the music industry, Timaya explained. "You need millions to promote music… Booking fees for artists are expensive now."

Also, tracks from his newly released album, Lungu Boy, mixed with older hits like Remember, Fuji Vibe, and MMS, had the audience singing along passionately.

3. Fireboy DML’s album brings Lagbaja back from retirement

Thirdly, Fireboy DML’s much-anticipated fourth studio album, Adedamola, released on August 29, 2024, has become a subject of intense discussion. This is primarily because of the participation of the iconic Nigerian Afrobeat legend, Lagbaja. The collaboration marked Lagbaja’s return from retirement after years of absence. Also, its result is a soulful blend of saxophones, violins, and traditional drums that evokes nostalgia.

In particular, the song Back n Forth stands out for its African rhythms and Fireboy DML’s powerful, emotional lyrics. Lagbaja’s signature bata drums and omele added an unmistakable African essence. Also, his saxophone entrance in the track stirred deep feelings of pride among listeners. Fans were eager to hear Lagbaja, who last performed at the AMVCA in 2022, back in action, delivering verses reminiscent of his classic hits like Nothing for You.

Subsequently, in an Apple Music interview, Fireboy DML revealed that even in the studio session, Lagbaja maintained his mysterious persona by never removing his mask, much to Fireboy’s amazement. The collaboration is considered one of Fireboy’s most successful endeavours, showcasing his ability to mix nostalgia with contemporary sounds.

Meanwhile, Afrobeats sensation Rema returned to his hometown of Benin City for a spectacular homecoming concert at Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium on August 30, 2024. This was Rema’s first show on Nigerian soil, and he did not disappoint. The concert drew thousands of fans and became a landmark event for the city. This is why it made it to the list of top 10 moments that shaped the Nigerian music industry in 2024.

Rema’s set was marked by electrifying performances of his hit songs, including Dumebi, Calm Down, and Charm. Special guests such as Mavin Record boss Don Jazzy, as well as Crayon and Shallipopi, made surprise appearances. This added to the excitement of the night.

One heartwarming moment came when Rema gifted two fans N2 million for their creative portraits of him. However, a brief commotion occurred when a fan jumped on stage during his performance of Ozeba. This led Rema to kick the fan off the stage. This action created a dramatic twist to the night but didn’t dampen the overall atmosphere.

5. Wizkid hints at release date for new album 'Morayo'

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Notjustok.com (@notjustok)

Moreso, superstar Wizkid may finally be ready to drop his highly anticipated sixth studio album, titled Morayo. This is after teasing fans for months. Set to be released as a tribute to his late mother, who passed away in 2023, the album has been in the making for nearly two years. The singer, who has already released hits like More Love, Less Ego, is building expectations for his fanbase once again.

On September 2, 2024, Wizkid posted cryptic hints on his social media. He suggested the album, or at least a single, might drop on October 1, 2024—Nigeria’s Independence Day. The message, which read, “On the day of independence, the truth shall set us free RRR,” has fueled speculation.

6. Buju Banton’s critique of Afrobeats sparks response from Tems

"I understand where Buju Banton is coming from... Reggae is not Afrobeats and Afrobeats in Nigeria is specifically for escapism...that's the purpose of Afrobeats"

- Tems pic.twitter.com/cJm5I0X98a

— @𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗷𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗯𝗼𝘆 (@OneJoblessBoy) September 2, 2024

Additionally, Jamaican reggae icon Buju Banton stirred up controversy during an interview on the Drink Champs podcast, where he criticized the global dominance of Afrobeats. According to Buju, Afrobeats lacks depth and borrows heavily from Jamaican reggae and dancehall without acknowledging its roots. His statements provoked a strong reaction from both the African and Caribbean music communities.

However, Nigerian Afrobeats star Tems responded thoughtfully during an interview on the Shopping The Sneakers podcast. She explained that Afrobeats, especially in Nigeria, is primarily about creating a “vibe” and providing an escape for its listeners. This contrasts with the socio-political messaging often found in reggae and dancehall. Tems’ nuanced answer sparked a wider conversation about the cultural significance and evolution of both genres.

7. Rema’s experimentation with 'HEIS' album

— Complex Music (@ComplexMusic) August 8, 2024

Furthermore, Nigerian superstar Rema shocked the world with his latest album HEIS. This took bold experimental turns in terms of sound and style. In an interview with Complex Music, Rema shared that he wanted to push boundaries and break away from his usual Afrofusion style. This is despite his label’s initial reluctance.

The album blends various genres, incorporating elements of rock, R&B, and traditional African sounds. By this, drawing comparisons to Kanye West’s genre-bending Yeezus album. Rema embraced these comparisons, stating that he intended to introduce new textures to Afrobeats without losing his African roots. His willingness to take risks has paid off. HEIS is now being hailed as a forward-thinking project that signals the future of Afrobeats.

8. Rema, Omah Lay, Shallipopi featured on EA FC25 game soundtrack

Also, as part of moments that shaped the Nigerian music industry in 2024, Nigerian Afrobeats stars Rema, Omah Lay, and Shallipopi were featured on the official soundtrack for EA FC25. This is the rebranded version of EA Sports’ popular FIFA game series. Released on September 27, 2024, the soundtrack includes 114 songs from global artists. So, this is with Rema, Omah Lay, and Shallipopi representing Nigerian Afrobeats.

This recognition shows the increasing influence of Afrobeats in mainstream global culture, especially in sports and gaming. Past Nigerian artists like Davido, Olamide, and BNXN have also been featured on FIFA soundtracks. However, this year’s inclusion signals that Afrobeats is becoming a staple of the franchise.

9. Burna Boy’s iconic collaboration with Hugo Boss

Consequently, Burna Boy continues his global rise, not just as an artist but as a cultural icon. The Grammy-winning Afrobeats star was featured in Hugo Boss’ latest campaign. This is alongside global heavyweights such as Naomi Campbell and David Beckham. Burna Boy’s presence in the campaign emphasizes his crossover appeal. This solidifies his role as a global brand ambassador for African music and culture.

10. Psquare's final dissolution

A post shared by Instablog9ja (@instablog9ja)

Lastly, one of the moments that shaped the Nigerian music industry in the third quarter of 2024 is the P-Square dissolution. After years of on-and-off performances and public feuds, Paul Okoye officially confirmed the final dissolution of P-Square, one of Nigeria’s most iconic music duos. In a candid Instagram Live session, Paul revealed his decision to focus on his solo career. He cited frustrations with the group's dynamics as his reason. P-Square, once known for chart-topping hits and electrifying performances, now belongs to the history books as one of Africa’s most beloved and influential acts. The final split marks the end of an era. Also, it opens new chapters for both Paul and Peter Okoye in their individual pursuits.
