The list also saw the inclusion of another African artist, South Africa’s Tyla, who was featured for her song Jump, a track featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.

Shaboozey’s A Bar Song and Adetunji’s Kehlani were celebrated for their unique sound, adding diversity to the mix.

As expected, the list also featured big names from the global music scene, with legendary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Karol G all making an appearance.

These mainstream stars continue to dominate the music industry, but Obama’s inclusion of emerging artists such as Rema and Asake shows his appreciation for a variety of musical genres.

On sharing his list with his followers via X (formerly Twitter), Obama encouraged fans to explore the tracks, saying, “Here are my favorite songs from this year!

Check them out if you’re looking to shake up your playlist, and let me know if there’s a song or artist I should make sure to listen to.”

British Singer, Natalie Okro claims that human hair (wigs) and some hairstyles are sacrifices to unknown gods.

The singer spoke about this when answering a question about why she stopped wearing wigs and she shares this belief. She shares that in some parts of Asia, they offer up their hair in an attempt to chase bad lucky and poverty.

“A lot of women in some countries like Asia, they go to the temple to sacrifice their hair to their god, believing that their gods will purify and cleanse them. They gave their hair as a form of getting rid of bad luck, poverty and every other thing stressing them and they started life anew.

“And we black women go to those websites to buy these hairs at hundreds of pounds.”

“We are wearing someone’s bad luck on our heads. You may not believe in their god but as a Christian, that works against what I believe in, because we see them as demons and deities.”
