Billboard Names 2Baba's "African Queen" Greatest Afrobeats Song Ever!

Billboard has crowned 2Baba's 2004 hit "African Queen" as the greatest Afrobeats song of all time. The Time magazine's list of the 50 Best Afrobeats Songs highlighted the track for its cultural significance, commercial success, and global reach.

The song, which was a love letter to African women, not only propelled 2Baba to solo stardom after Plantashun Boiz split in 2004 but also revolutionized the Afrobeats genre. The list also featured other top artists like Wizkid, Ayra Starr, Yemi Alade, and more. "African Queen" has not only stood the test of time but also showcased the international impact of Nigerian music on a global scale.
