Flavour is trending because Ijele 1 finished 3rd on the Billboard Staff All Time AfroBeat ranking, leaving 9ice at a distant 12th place.
So, the debate for who is bigger between Mr. Gongo Aso and Ijele was revisited.
Flavours fans argued that, this Billboard listing has settled the debate. Since 9ice didn’t make to top 10. And Flavour’s Ashawo was ranked 3rd, only behind African Queen and Wizkid’s Ojuelegba.
As expected the debate went tribal, as some insisted that, 9ice is only popular in SW, Nigeria. While Flavour is a global brand.
Based on numbers, Flavour is miles ahead. However both a legends.
Flavour’s life changed the day he was performing live at a bar in the East, then PSquare showed up, and instantly the manager just yelled “Hey Off that thing.”
They turned off his set up and gave PSQUARE the MIC. As he saw the crowd going wild, he thought, these people have never screamed my name like this.
That was the day, Ijele 1 of Africa was born. He decided to stop performing other people’s song and create his own sound.[Full Story at the end of the Mix]
Now, Flavour is the most booked Artiste in Nigeria, and maybe Africa. He is booked two years ahead. As of right now, you can’t get Flavour for a show this 2025, unless you break the bank. Literally.
