The Nigerian music industry is undoubtedly filled with many great talents who have also successfully taken their music outside the shores of this country.

African music, particularly the Nigerian Afro-beat sound, seems to have become a fad in the international scene with international stars wanting to also have a piece of it.

Some Nigerian artists have been able to bridge the gap with the international market and some of them have worked with stars such as Beyonce, Chris Brown, Drake and Rick Ross, to name a few.

Just recently, American singer, rapper, producer and song writer, Sean Combs, aka P Diddy, took to social media via his verified Twitter page to pen a heartfelt message to Africans.
