10. Yemi Alade
Nigeria’s afropop princess Yemi Alade first came to fame winning the Peak Talent Show (a forerunner to the current Nigeria’s Got Talent TV series) in 2009, and is best known for her entertaining video and single “Johnny,” which achieved chart success across West Africa as well as in South Africa, and in the UK. Crediting dancehall as a major influence in her musical style, she calls out “Mr. Lova Man, Shabba” on “Looking at Me,” a bonus track from her 2014 debut album, King of Queens.
