It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for! Since the start of the week, we’ve been counting down The 10 Hottest Artists in Nigeria 2015. After listing some of the hottest names in the game and their accomplishments, we have finally reached #1.

We’re fully into the final quarter of 2015, and in the last 12-15 months, we’ve witnessed the growth of several superstars with hit songs, tours, endorsements and more.

The 10 Hottest Artists in Nigeria 2015 list – compiled by the notjustOk Team – takes into account the hottest names in Nigerian music from the last quarter of 2014 till date.

…And the #1 on #TheList is…

1. Olamide

Olamide aka Baddosneh is The Hottest Artist in Nigeria for the year 2015!

This young man has built an empire all by himself – YBNL Nation – and has created star artists and producers in the process. Olamide embodies the word “consistency”; with 4 albums (plus a joint album) released in the last 5 years, he’s clearly the most consistent Nigerian artist in half a decade. This is reflected in his continuous rise up #TheList from #7 in 2013 to #3 in 2014, and now #1 in 2015!

In the last 12 months alone, Olamide released 2 albums, Street OT and 2 Kings (alongside Phyno), at least 5 music videos, and dropped some more singles, the biggest being the megahit “Shakiti Bobo” which is the #1 song and dance in Nigeria at the moment. While he may not be winning all the international awards, Olamide has created a cult-like following, particularly in the South-West. He’s also arguably the most featured musician in Nigeria today.

With event bookings flowing in almost on a daily basis, including local and international tours, plus lucrative endorsements, Olamide sits comfortably on the throne as The Hottest Artist in Nigeria 2015!

Congratulations, Baddo!
