Some Nigerian Artists are now giving Comedians a run for their month in the funniest person in the Entertainment Industry.
Mp3bullet.ng presents Top Funniest Artists in the Nigerian Music Industry.
It’s no surprise that the Nigerian music scene is brimming with talented musicians who create music in a variety of genres and provide us with endless entertainment.
However, for a few of these Nigerian musicians, entertainment does not end with music; they go above and beyond to become full-fledged entertainers, dazzling us with their sense of humour through funny skits and videos to promote their work or simply express their views.
Some Nigerian artists realize that humour is quintessential in promoting their brand and the framework of their career. They understand that they have to infuse the elements of comedy into their music as it is a dangerous business to be lethargic.
There are artists who are naturally hilarious, meanwhile, there are some who simply engage in cheesy activities but still get the love from their fans. It is important to note that this list entails mainstream Nigerian acts and not social media tweeners who release jocular songs.

Here are some of the Top Funniest Artists in the Nigerian Music Industry.
Falz
When Falz first entered the industry, he brought with him a humorous accent that is a mix of H-factor and terrible English, and he quickly gained a following of admirers who imitated him.
In case you didn’t know, Falz previously started a career media comic between 2014 and 2015. Following the popular success of his sophomore album, Stories That Touch, in 2016, he retreated from skit production.
The multi-talented entertainer is the first Nigerian artist to have won an AMVCA award for his contribution to a film.
Although he is not the first Nigerian singer to participate in a Nollywood film, the versatile renaissance man has managed to fascinate his audience with his talent, swagger, and charisma.

Blaqbonez
One day, Blaqbonez’s technique of leveraging hilarious content to get streams for his 2020 singles Haba and BBC will almost certainly be studied in the marketing industry.
The rapper has been able to gain fans and also helped him reach the top of the charts thanks to the funny way he markets his songs on social media.

Teni
The only Nigerian musician with many aliases. Teniola Apata’s aliases include Teni the Entertainer, Teni Makanaki, Oba Orin, the One Take Queen, and others.
Teni is the epitome of joy, happiness, and enjoyment. She is a happy-go-lucky person, and her outgoing demeanour has helped her gain a devoted following around the world.
Teni coverts her sense of humour into sales and in December of 2019, she hit Third Mainland Bridge to do one-on-one marketing of her concert, dressed up in a Santa. It’s difficult to find a female performer as relaxed and unique as the ‘Uyo Meyo’ crooner.
Her elementary outlook on life is reflected in her childlike songs. Her music videos, such as ‘Case‘ and ‘Billionaire,’ have a comedic element to them as well as an optimistic attitude. It’s impossible to dislike her since she is beautiful in her own flesh.
Who else spotted Teni on Third Mainland Bridge? 😄 Hope you got the message too.
Come out on the 16th of December for #BillionaireExperience. Venue is the Eko Convention Center, Eko Hotels & Suites. #TeniLiveLagos pic.twitter.com/lWvHMZP2AO

Mayorkun
The Mayor of Lagos is not only a skilled hitmaker but also a favourite of many thanks to his Snapchat hijinks, in which he satirises and offers commentary on women’s dating expectations, among other things.
Mayorkun used the same satirical humour in one of his biggest hits, Geng, which contains the phrase “one Hennessy twenty man gang.”

Don Jazzy
Arguably one of Nigeria’s most popular celebrities, all the music entrepreneur wants is to make money while creating new superstars, date Rihanna, whom he adores, and go on a cruise.
So far, he has been charitable enough to share not only his fortune but also his sense of humour in his various skits with fellow Nigerians.
Interestingly, he has featured in a couple of comedy skits. He made guest appearances in several episodes of different Instagram comedians’ skits and also help publicize their content.

Peruzzi
DMW is a record label that has developed a cult following over the years, and one of the reasons, according to study, is the humorous nature of its signees. Peruzzi, also known as ‘Huncho,’ is another witty member of the group, and a photo of him shrugging and pleading for peace has become one of the most popular memes on Nigerian Twitter.
