The Afrobeats wave continues to sweep through the UK music scene, with fresh talents and seasoned stars holding firm on the Official Charts Company’s latest ranking.

American singer Odeal’s Miami maintained its No. 1 position for a ninth consecutive week, but it was Nigerian sensation Rema who made headlines with an impressive debut. His new single Fun entered straight at No. 2, shaking up the leaderboard and cementing his global appeal.

South African star Tyla, whose Is It previously peaked at No. 1, slipped one spot to No. 3, while Ayra Starr climbed to No. 4 with the sultry Hot Body, equalling her career-best position. Burna Boy also held steady at No. 5 with Love, as Tyla and Wizkid’s collaboration Dynamite followed closely at No. 6.

Young Jonn and Wizkid’s Cash Flow dropped to No. 7 in its second week, while rising act Fola achieved a career milestone as You leapt into the Top 10 at No. 8.

Afrobeats powerhouse Asake secured two spots in the Top 10, with Badman Gangsta featuring Tiakola at No. 9, and his J Hus collaboration Gold a former chart-topper rounding out the list at No. 10.

Afrobeats star, Tiwatope Omolara Savage, popularly known as Tiwa Savage, has revealed that she once endured a “disrespectful” relationship with a fellow Nigerian celebrity who insisted on keeping their romance hidden from the public.

Speaking on Joe Budden’s podcast, Savage disclosed that the unnamed celebrity maintained secrecy about their relationship while openly flirting with other women in her presence.

“I am a public figure and he is as well. He said he didn’t want us to go public, and I said that was fine,” she explained. “But when we went out, he would say, ‘I might be talking to other people, but I’m just doing it so people don’t suspect.

“We might be at the same event, and he would be talking, laughing, and even touching other ladies, then look at me like, ‘Don’t worry, it’s nothing, I’m just doing it.’ It was happening right in front of me and I couldn’t say anything. That’s disrespect.”

Although the singer declined to reveal the identity of the celebrity, many fans online have speculated that she was referring to Wizkid.

Music executive, Ubi Franklin has shared his opinion on Nigerian superstars, Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy, widely regarded as Afrobeats’ “Big 3.”

Speaking in a recent episode of the Afropolitan podcast, Franklin explained that it would be difficult for the trio to collaborate, stressing that their positions as the “Big 3” make them rivals rather than collaborators.

The talent manager noted that there are fierce competitors in every industry, using the rivalry between top Nigerian banks to buttress his point.

He, however, claimed that the beef between the Afrobeats stars isn’t beyond entertainment, emphasing that he has never heard his associate Davido gossip about Wizkid and Burna Boy to his inner circle and he believes it’s mutual.

“It would be difficult for Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy to come together. I will speak for Davido, I have never heard him for once said something ill about Wizkid or Burna Boy. And I’m sure it’s the same for them. But the environment [industry] they are will make it difficult for them to work together.

“It’s like the rivalry between the top banks in Nigeria. In every industry, there is the big 3,” he stated.
