Spotify announes Nigerian singings sensation Fave as the Equal artist for November 2024.
With her soulful voice, compelling lyrics, and distinctive rhythmic style, FAVE is a powerful presence in Nigeria’s music scene and beyond.
FAVE first captured the public’s attention with her viral hit N.B.U. in 2020. Since then, she’s released multiple chart-topping singles and acclaimed projects, including her debut EP, Riddim 5, and her much-anticipated release, Dutty Love, set for 7 November.
Her collaborations with some of Nigeria’s most renowned artists, Olamide, Simi, Phyno, and Davido have solidified her reputation, and her feature on Davido’s Kante from the record-breaking Timeless album was among Spotify’s Top 10 most-streamed songs in Nigeria for 2023.
“Being a woman in the music industry can feel like an uphill climb, but it’s made me more determined,” FAVE shared. “The EQUAL programme is special because it centres on supporting women, ensuring our voices are given prominence. It’s empowering to be part of something working towards balance in the industry.”
With a growing international fanbase and a sound that transcends borders, FAVE is not only a rising star but also a powerful cultural ambassador, breaking barriers and setting new standards for African music.
In a short interview, the singer shared some insights into her musical journey.
What is that one surprising thing your fans might not know about you?
I love movies and crime documentaries.
When did you realise that making music was your destiny and what is your why for pursuing this craft?
I realised making music was my destiny right from when I was a little girl. I used to sing in the choir and write my songs. I immediately told my friends that music is something I enjoy and would want to do for life. I pursued music because it gave me life. I could do it seamlessly. So eventually I realised it was more than a hobby, it was a talent I could develop.
Which African songs or artists did you grow up listening to?
I grew up listening to PSQUARE, ASA, SASHA P, EVA ALORDIAH.
To someone who has never heard your music, how would you describe the sound, tone, and style?
My music has a lot of soul and feelings. I’d say my style is a spectrum.
Any advice for someone dreading following their dreams?
Honestly, I’d say everyone should follow their dreams because life is too short. And if you don’t follow your dreams you’ll have a million regrets. You should also follow your DREAMS cos they’re yours for a reason and if you don’t you might end up not fulfilling your purpose in life. So just get up and do it.

As fans eagerly await the release of his highly-anticipated album, ‘No Sign of Weakness’, this historic moment sets the mood as Burna Boy offers insights into his position as a foremost protagonist for African music.
Ahead of the release of his 8th album, Burna Boy has released the Grammy-nominated single ‘Higher’ before wrapping up 2024 with ‘Bundle By Bundle’.
His cover story, a collaborative post between Billboard France and Burna Boy, celebrates his meteoric rise from his studio in Port Harcourt to headlining the biggest stages across the world.
In their post, Billboard France praised Burna Boy for his cultural impact, calling him the ambassador of Nigeria’s booming music scene.
The platform highlighted his groundbreaking achievement as the first non-francophone African artist to headline France’s legendary Stade de France in 2025, a feat that cements his dominance in the global music industry.
With over 7 billion streams and a Grammy Award to his name, Burna Boy’s signature Afrofusion—a blend of Afrobeats, hip-hop, and global sounds—has captivated audiences worldwide and rocketed him to superstar status.
Burna Boy’s history feat of covering France Billboard reinforces his legacy as a music star who’s advancing African music on the global stage.|

Major omissions & misses from the 17th Headies Awards Nominations list
![Major omissions & misses from the 17th Headies Awards Nominations list 15 d954b25a 1045 4ff9 a106 a6a391cf463a](https://turo247newz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/d954b25a-1045-4ff9-a106-a6a391cf463a.png.webp)
The Headies has unveiled the nominations for its 17th edition and it wasn’t without some surprise omissions.
The eligibility window for this award ceremony was fixed between April 1, 2023, and July 31, 2024. During this time, Nigerian artists released notable projects and records, many of which were nominated.
Like every award ceremony, some omissions sparked conversations, especially given the profile of the artists involved and the quality of the snubbed material. However, the Headies 17th edition suffers peculiar challenges notably because of the recurring delay in the ceremony and poor execution.
In this article, we considered some of the major snubs and misses from the 17th Headies Awards nominations list.
Note: This write-up is based on the assumption that the omitted works were submitted.
BEST RECORDING OF THE YEAR
TEMS – BURNING
SEYI VIBEZ – DIFFERENT PATTERN
BURNA BOY – HIGHER
AYRA STARR & GIVEON – LAST HEARTBREAK SONG
SARZ FEATURING LOJAY – BILLIONS
NOTABLE SNUBS: ASAKE – ‘Lonely At The Top’, ODUMODUBLVCK – ‘Blood On The Dance Floor’
Ahead of the awards predictions for this category favoured Asake‘s hit record ‘Lonely At The Top’ whose composition carries an imposing quality that made it the standout track from his sophomore album ‘Work Of Art’.
Also, OdumoduBlvck‘s ‘Blood On The Dance Floor’ is one of the most musically accomplished singles in the year in review and its omissions come as a surprise.
PRODUCER OF THE YEAR
SARZ – HAPPINESS
LONDON – OZEBA
MAGICSTICKS – BASQUIAT
REMA/PRODUCER X/CUBEATZ/DEATZ/KLIMPERBOY – HEHEHE
DIBS – DIFFERENT PATTERN
NOTABLE SNUBS: P.PRIIME, JAY SYNTHS, BLAISE BEATZ, KZITO
In the year in review, P.Priime had an emphatic run that included producing a bulk of Rema’s successful sophomore album ‘HEIS’. It comes as a shock that he couldn’t secure a spot among the nominees.
Jay Synths was the man behind Flavour‘s ‘Big Baller’ which earned two nominations including one for Song of the Year. He also produced one of the defining hits of 2023 in KCee’s ‘Ojapiano’. Many observers will find his omission puzzling.
Blaise Beatz produced one of the biggest hits of 2024 Kizz Daniel’s ‘Twe Twe’ whose beat richly explores Nigerian indigenous folk drums. However, this wasn’t enough for him to earn a nomination.
If musical accomplishment is a basis for nomination in this category, it’s also puzzling to see why KZITO wasn’t nominated for his contributions to Victony’s Album of the Year nominated project ‘Stubborn’ notable for the track ‘Pier 46’.
