NBA star, Steph Curry, lists Burna Boy and WizKid among his 6 favorite music artists in the world – VIDEO
  • In a recent interview, Curry let the cat out of the bag by revealing his adoration for 6 music sensations, serving up a tantalizing blend of both American and Nigerian luminaries, with the likes of Burna Boy and Wizkid leading the charge.

The global sway of Nigerian Afrobeats is steadily expanding, casting a spell of fascination upon the United States of America (USA).

It’s become evident that Nigeria’s foremost musical talents have not only enchanted the masses but also ensnared the attention of the titans of sports.

The 34-year-old point guard for the Golden State Warriors was asked to name his top five music artists.

However, with a touch of whimsy and a dash of individuality, Curry decided to one-up the question by naming six. In doing so, he wove a symphony that transcended borders, harmoniously blending the stars of America and Nigeria into his auditory tapestry.
