Wizkid and Drake's collaboration wasn't what opened for African artistes, the collab helped Wizkid gain mainstream success and got Drake tapping into afrobeats, but that's just about it. African artistes have long been opening doors long before Wizkid entered the studio. African artistes have been making headlines and pushing the boundaries before the collab. Artistes like K'naan didn't need a collab to put Africans on the global map. Also give credits to the likes of D'banj, P'Square, and others. We also have non-Nigerians like Angélique Kidjo who have done way more, and other legends from the late 80s, 90s, and 2000s. When it comes to Nigeria, no-one has opened more doors than Fela, the pioneer of afrobeats himself.
