She came into the game like she was passing by, many predicted that her style of music wasn’t Tanzania’s favorite but at the end of the day she shook us and exceeded our expectations when she captured the listener’s ears in the country and internationally.

Vanessa Hau Mdee is everything that the media and the entertainment industry needed because she is a writer, rapper, youth activist and before entering the music industry she was a presenter at MTV.

Your uniqueness is what will separate you from the majority, and that’s why her figure and bilingual singing style got her to attract a huge fan base.

Did the music industry need her or does she need it more?

The truth is the music industry needed her more than she needed it, I don’t think we deserved the good songs that she gave us like ‘Nobody but me’ which she did with KO from South Africa, ‘Kisela‘ which she did with Rude Boy from Nigeria.

For the longest time, Tanzania’s music didn’t get recognition, we weren’t getting awards, a lot of countries were ahead of us in the music industry when Vanessa Mdee came with her bilingual style of singing she made her music crossover easily to the extent that she got to take part in awards events in Africa and out of Africa.

How Vanessa became a Bongo Flava legend in a short time

The first time she was heard on radio waves was when she got featured by Ommy Dimpoz in a song called ‘Me and You’. It was like someone showed her a direction to which to go cause after that song the rest is history.

Today, we can say that Vanessa Mdee is a young woman who has been successful in the music industry in a short time, especially considering that when she got into the game, female artists were very few if you include Lady Jaydee who has been in the game for a long time.

Vanessa Mdee was like a small antelope in the midst of lions in the jungle since the music industry has a lot of challenges especially for female musicians and for the fact that at that time when she started her music career, there already were big artists in the game.

Her love life and music

It’s very rare for celebrity couples to work, we have seen this from Chris Brown and Rihanna, even though there are few couples like Beyonce and Jay-Z who are still together.

The same goes for Vanessa, Vee Money as she calls herself, who was in a relationship with Juma Jux.

This celebrity couple was the most loved in the music industry, they hustled together, did a lot of joint projects. Their relationship helped them become more successful and famous, some of the songs that they did together include ‘Juu‘ and they also did a tour together which was called ‘In love and Money‘.

Where is Vanessa Mdee today?

After she broke up with Juma Jux, she decided to take a mental health break and stop doing music for some time as she builds the other areas of her life.

Right now she is madly in love with a Hollywood actor and musician, Rotimi. These two have been blessed with a baby and matching tattoos.

Here are the top 10 most followed African musicians on Instagram in the year 2021, Now thanks to the advent and advancement of technology and the internet

We all get to witness just how dynamic life is, from the most pressing issues like climate change to the fact that at his latest milestone of 20 million Instagram followers, Nigerian megastar, Davido, is now the most followed African music Artist on the IG app in the year 2021.

This then begs the question of how Africans have in recent times, been interacting with the virtual extensions of their favorite musicians.

We heard this question and as a result, decided to make a list that captures the most popular African musicians on the pretty pictures app.

Top 10 most followed African musician on Instagram

Davido

Born David Adeleke, the 28-year-old Nigerian megastar has over a period of 10 years, become a hit-making maestro who has under his belt, the currently most commercially successful Afrobeats record, Fall. He is also the owner and CEO of DMW, known fully as Davido Music Worldwide.

The megastar has 21.6 million followers on the Instagram app and this makes him, by a hefty margin, the most followed African music Artist on the IG platform while he comes in after Mo Salah as the second most followed African personality.

Yemi Alade

Since the time of Nelson Mandela, every African generation has had a Mama Africa.

Then it was South African Mariam Makeba, later on, and concurrently, it has been Beninoise Angelique Kidjo who is alongside Nigeria’s Yemi Alade referred to as such.

Born Yemi Eberechi Alade, the Nigerian Afropop superstar is a blend of Yoruba and Igbo roots while she unites Africans all over with her sweet catchy tunes done in English, French, and occasionally even in Swahili.

At 15.2 million followers on Instagram and one of the highest-grossing music videos on YouTube, Yemi Alade put the numbers to her Mama Africa title to become the second most followed African musician on the pictures’ app.

Diamond Platinumz

Inarguably one of the biggest African acts and a Tanzanian living treasure, Naseeb Issack has with his impressive career, earned his title as ‘The King of Bongo-Flava’, which is Tanzania’s trademark music genre.

At the moment, the megastar sits pretty on the top of the food chain of YouTube numbers as his videos have amassed a total of one billion views.

Diamond Platinumz is also currently the third most followed African musician on Instagram with a 13.5 million-strong follower base.

Tiwa Savage

Known as the African Bad Gyal, the sultry Afropop and RnB singer not only exports the sound revolution, Afrobeats, to the rest of the world but also propagates the movement with her visuals and soft-spoken and elegant persona as seen on her Instagram page.

At 13.7 million followers on Instagram, Tiwatope Savage continues her reign as the African Bad Gyal as the fourth most followed African musician on the platform.

Wizkid

Many users of the popular bird app, Twitter, are of the opinion that Wizkid’s latest album, Made in Lagos, is a classic body of work.

With the love, it has been getting from music lovers and popular personalities on the internet, all over the world, it has, however, become a given that Starboy’s global campaign has attained universal supremacy.

Ayo Balogun is the name behind the Wizkid persona, an African musician who despite his lowkey and reticent persona, is the fifth most followed African musician on Instagram with 13.2 million followers as of April 2021.

Don Jazzy

On this list, Don Jazzy stands out as an oddity due to the fact that he is primarily a music producer and music executive, having set up two record labels– the now-defunct Mo’Hits and the star-finding Mavin.

He is infact the only music producer cum executive on this list. And this is a feat he unlocked by being one of the most loved celebrities in the country by first producing for some of the best Afrobeats singers in the early 2010s and later on discovering some of the most promising talents in the new age of African music.

In addition to these, Micheal Collins Ajereh or Don Jazzy, as he’s popularly known, doubles as a virtual entertainer and influencer, often seen making and posting skits on his Instagram while still associating his brand with up and coming acts from all walks of life.

Tekno

Tekno also produces music and has been credited with being the brains behind the lyrics and the sound of one of Davido’s biggest hits, If. 

The Golden Boy of Africa, Tekno, shines on this list with 8.6 million followers on Instagram.

Olamide

While some still contend Olamide’s legacy as one of the GOATed (greatest of all times) in the Nigerian music scene, the indigenous rapper and street-hop singer with full name, Olamide Adedeji, has proved that the mountain which in this case is global domination, does indeed come to Mohammed.

An industry shaper, Olamide owns YBNL- Yahoo Boy No Laptop, record label and has with, put music lovers on to fresh new sounds.

Olamide makes an appearance on this list with 7.7 million followers.

In 2019, Gold decided to serve us this romantic up tempo track, and swept the industry off their feet. Having realised the extent of its fame, Gold took another bold step of remixing the song with Vanessa Mdee. With a good streaming number of 6,302,505 millions on Spotify, BYWU claims the second spot.

Pretty Girl ft. Patoranking

This is another track off his Afro Pop Vol. 1 body of work, and on this track, he teams up with highlife singer, Patoranking.

The versatility on this tune is one top-notch production, as Gold claims the pop lane, Patoranking swiftly delivers in his best, the dancehall.

As a matter of fact, the video just surfaced a couple of months ago. Pretty Girl is gradually closing up to 4 million as it records 3,801,154 streams on Spotify.

Okay

Still off his Afro Pop project comes this track, “Okay” that claims the fourth spot on our list.

Although, the vibe is tuned into taking his haters to the cleaners, however, Gold delivers a song so additive and catchy, with the “OKAY OKAY” soft melodious chant.

It is the kind of song that stores in your sub-conscious and its really lovely. Okay has 3,302,016 streams on Spotify.

However, With a handful of hits, Reekado Banks proved himself worthy of the highly controversial 2015 Next Rated Award, regardless of what anyone thinks and deserves top 10 conversations in Nigerian music.

Reekado Banks is not just a great asset, after over five years of steady grind and consistency, he’s officially one of the top players, in the music industry today.

Insight

Although, he’s not so huge on collaborations. In fact, at his peak, all of his hits were solo singles (Oluwa Ni, Standard, Problem, Easy). But that doesn’t mean he’s a loner, or he got no friends. A number of times, he’s done joint efforts with a couple of guys, and most are hits. Big hits at that.

Sweeping through his catalogue, here are ten huge songs from Reekado Banks that are collaborations with other artists.

Relative Discography

Mavins – Dorobucci

It was indeed the start of something big, not only did it mark the beginning of the Mavins Empire, but it also launched the careers of three new kids.

Reekado was one of them. He actually did the hook of the song. I couldn’t have imagined the song better than it was, they all did good jobs.

If it counts, it’s Reekado’s first big hit, and still one of the biggest songs he’s ever appeared on. Dorobucci also featured Don Jazzy, Korede Bello, Di’Ja, Dr Sid and Tiwa Savage.

Honestly, Skiibii never really took off like many thought he would. Still, one of the most underrated guys around here, the talented artist has scored some hits, all of which are collaborations.

Skiibii – Sensima

“Sensima” is kinda his biggest hit, ever. It came at a time Reekado was in high demand. Reekado simply tuned the vibe, delivered an electric guest verse that murdered the whole jam.

At about the time Reekado Banks dropped his powerful debut, “Spotlight,” Ycee linked up with him and they did this hot one. Reekado on the hook, Ycee on the verses, it was like some American guys having fun on an afro-beat.

Ycee – Link Up

“Link Up” wasn’t just a hit, it was a big one. For both of them. Especially for Reekado, who needed to prove he has friends, here.

Move featuring Vanessa Mdee

Actually his single, but it won’t be fair not to include it here. Banks teamed up with Tanzania’s finest and hottest in diaspora, Vanessa Mdee, for “Move” a song that was an instant hit.

It’s every day Reekado wants to move to the gyal, but it’s not every day the gyal is a hot chic like Vanessa.

He was literally on a spree at that time. He was dishing out singles, every now and then. “Like Me” happened to come at the right time. Not to forget, it came with the right artists on it. Tiwa Savage was enough.

Like featuring Tiwa Savage and Fiokee
