Afropop star Tems: 'Women are not respected in the industry'
Nigerian Afropop star Tems has told the BBC "people don't really respect women" in her industry. The two-time Grammy award-winner told the BBC that at the start of her career, she struggled to be taken seriously. "I realised that there's always a cost. There's always a price that you pay. And a lot of those prices I wasn't willing to pay and there wasn't a lot of options," Tems said. Afropop has gained immense global popularity over the past decade, but despite this growth it remains notoriously male-dominated. The industry's so-called "Big Three" - Burna Boy, Davido and Wizkid - are all male - while their female counterparts, such as Tiwa Savage and Yemi Alade, have spoken out about the barriers they face because of their gender. Earlier this year, Tems hit out following negative comments about her body, which were made online after a video of her performing was posted onto X. She wrote on the social media platform: "It's just a body, I will add and lose weight. I never once hid my body, I just didn't feel the need to prove or disprove anyone. The more you don't like my body the better for me actually." Tems told the BBC she wants "to change the way women see themselves in music", and hopes to achieve this through her new platform, The Leading Vibe Initiative. The project aims to provide opportunities for young women throughout Africa's music industries. "I promised myself that if I get to a place where I can do more, I will make this initiative for women like me and maybe make it easier for women to access platforms and access a wider audience and success," Tems said. The initiative kicked off on Friday in Tems' hometown, Lagos. Vocalists, songwriters and producers were invited to a series of workshops, masterclasses and panel discussions, all with the aim of developing skills and connections. Asked what advice she would give to young women wanting to crack the industry, she said: "I think it's important to have an idea of what you want for yourself, what your brand is, what's your boundary. "What are the things that you wouldn't do for fame and the things that you would do?" Tems, who has scored hits with the likes of Love Me Jeje and Free Mind, said anyone trying to break into the industry must be passionate about their craft. "It's not everybody that sings that loves music. If I wasn't famous, I would still be doing music. I would be in some kind of jazz club... randomly on a Friday night," she said. But this is far from Tems' reality. Five years on from her debut EP, she has collaborated with the likes of Beyoncé and Rihanna, racked up more than 17m monthly listeners on Spotify and headlined international festivals. And next month, she will be supporting British band Coldplay during their sold-out run of gigs at the UK's Wembley Stadium. Tems puts her success down to being "authentic" and "audacious". "Even when people tell you to change your sound, change your style, you look at them and you say: 'No'. If it meant me not being signed, I was okay not being signed. I went to a couple of places that didn't sign me and I was okay with that," she said. Music is not Tems' only passion - she is an avid football fan and recently became part-owner of US football club San Diego FC. "I never imagined myself owning or being in an ownership of any football team," she said, adding that her brother initially got her into the sport. Tems joined San Diego's ownership with Pave Investments, a West African private investment firm which also helped raise funds for the NBA-linked African Basketball League. Tems' involvement with San Diego gives her hope that "people can be bold enough to try things that nobody ever thought was possible". She said: "I don't see myself as just a singer, just a musician, just an artist. I'm much more than that."

Music was always my desire – 'Skylar Star'
SASOLBURG.- As part of Women's Month, Sedibeng Ster looks at the life and career of this upcoming and rising hip hop artist. Boitumelo Pitso, otherwise popularly known as 'Skylar Star' by her fans, is a young recording and performing artist who is eager to make a name for herself in the music industry. Regardless of the challenges, Pitso is determined to make her dream a reality, especially in hip-hop music. This multi-talented artist is not just a musician; she is also a composer and songwriter of her own music. Skylar Star is well-known for her unique melodic sound, blending and mixing it with culture, lifestyle, and life experience as R&B, hip hop, trap, rap, Afropop, house, and amapiano. Speaking to Sedibeng Ster, Pitso said she loves art and has always wanted to be a superstar since she was a little kid. She told Sedibeng Ster that she is also fond of drawing, painting, dancing, and modelling, but her desire has always been to become a musician. 'Growing up, I had inspiration from Hip Hop music, which resonated deeply with my role models Rihanna and Lil Wayne, among others. My dream right now is to be a well-recognised musician, model, fashionist, and entrepreneur. It is not easy to be a musician or DJ because our talent here at ground level is taken for granted. We are not treated like those so-called celebrities. But regardless of these challenges, I won't give up on my God-given talent. I will push until my dreams come true. The only thing I need is to promote myself, especially my music, to the world. I want the world to know who is 'Skylar Star', a young girl from Sasolburg,' she said. Skylar Star told Sedibeng Ster that she used to write poetry as she was expressing her emotions through writing. She wrote her own song back in 2020, and this is where she realised that she can create music from her life experiences. She has been invited to perform at high-profile events in Vaal and the Free State. Skylar Star recently released her first album called Butterfly. The album is already trending on all her digital platforms. Her music can be found on the following social media platforms.

The Afropop Girls Making This Summer Sexy
On Friday, July 26, the day of the week new music drops regularly, three of the hottest pop stars out of Africa doled out the steamiest trifecta of releases this year. Nigerian singer Ayra Starr's latest song is literally about being hot. South African star Tyla came with a four-pack EP called WWP, short for We Wanna Party. And Ghanaian-American shapeshifter Amaarae broke barriers with her new single 'Girlie-Pop!' and its steamy, queer-coded music video. It was a day that crystallized a pattern that had been forming all year: the women of Afropop are bringing sexy back. Much of their movement, like others across media right now, is Y2K-indebted. Skirts and tops have gotten microscopic, bottoms are being slung below the waist again, and lots of producers seem to be doing their best impressions of early Pharrell. But that time also came with some trends in how women's sexuality was marketed and received that we now find disturbing, to say the least. We can see that Britney Spears, the queen of Y2K, was someone whose personhood and sexuality was often devoured and exploited as she explored both as a young girl (her iconic and controversial 1999 Rolling Stone cover is an emblem of how complicated it is to make a teenager a sex symbol). We now know Janet Jackson was unfairly shamed and punished after Justin Timberlake exposed her pasty-covered breast during their 2004 Super Bowl performance. Today, while some of the cultural relics of that time have rolled back around, many young women may have more agency about why, when, and how they want to participate. More from Rolling Stone Tyla Summer Kicks Off With 'WWP' Mixtape Justin Bieber, Blackpink, Tyla, and All the Songs You Need to Know This Week Tyla Asks 'Is It' Wrong for a New Romance to Feel So Right on Latest Single It feels like that agency is what we're witnessing in Afropop. Ayra Starr — who emerged in 2021 as a cunning 19-year-old surrounded by cartoon butterflies and broken hearts — has grown more edgy in her dress and performance as she's gotten older. In May, she inched towards summer with the fiery 'Gimme Dat,' video featuring Wizkid, and last week, she finally released her much-anticipated new single 'Hot Body.' 'Body be dancing/Slow wine/Summer body/So fine,' she sings on the strip tease of a song. As she breadcrumbed the track on social media over the past few weeks, she could be seen hitting a seductive, TikTok ready dance to it with her girlfriends, and it truly looks like she's having a blast. Just a few days ago, on July 27, she giddily celebrated performing the song with Coldplay, who she's touring with as an opening act this summer. Before she took the stage, Chris Martin, who eagerly accompanied her on acoustic guitar, told the crowd, 'Ok, everybody, listen. We will do something special because this is Ayra Starr from Nigeria. She is going to be the world's biggest pop star soon and she has a new song called 'Hot Body' which I think is amazing. So please indulge us and join us for a big dance party.' Dancing, of course, has been Tyla's thing since she captivated the mainstream with 'Water' in 2023. (Cute Y2K fashion has become a bit of a calling card for her, as it has for Starr. They've been friendly collaborators, both 23 years old.) The rollout and name of Tyla's new EP, WWP, takes cues from the popular nightlife chant '[Insert name of DJ or performer leading the crowd here], we wanna party!' That makes perfect sense for a girl who's always been about partying so hard you're soaked, whether with sweat or the contents of your plastic bottle. Tyla's WWP features 'Bliss,' a track whose music video spawned an excellent meme about being sexy and sad at once. It takes the quick cut between a scene of the singer fighting tears and another of her grinding against a silver sculpture in desert sand. 'Idk if we're supposed to shake ass or cry' one YouTube commenter wrote to the tune of 15,000 likes. The full WWP EP includes two songs that debuted this month, one being 'Dynamite,' an energizing collaboration with Wizkid (it's the pair's first and feels reminiscent of Ayra Starr hopping on Star Boy's '2 Sugar' earlier in her rise). The song that really cements the sexy, though, is 'Mr. Media.' While the track lambasts the voyeuristic sensationalism she's faced in the public eye, she uses the second verse to remind herself why she shouldn't care: 'Bad bitch, I ain't always got time to talk/Too bad, yeah, I know I'm difficult/You'd be too if you had my visuals/You'd be too if you had material.' Amaarae seems to be channeling a similar devil-may-care confidence as she gears up to release Black Star, her third studio album set to drop August 8. On Friday, she shared the second single, 'Girlie-Pop!' following the erotic 'S.M.O.' (for 'Slut Me Out'). 'Girlie-Pop!' ushers in this new era of Amaarae's powerfully, honing a familiar balance of softness, urgency, and cleverly sensual songwriting with a righteously queer arc. Using music as an extended allegory, she coos, 'I want you to take me from the top/Kiss me 'til I tell you, 'Make it soft'/One of us gotta bring this to a stop/Flip positions, switching genres 'til you make it pop.' In the moody video, Amaarae nearly sings into the mouth of another woman, the camera lingering on their lips. In other moments, their heads swirl around each other's face and neck. When that's not happening, the woman is DJing, potentially another bit of innuendo. Amaarae's imagery and music has sometimes teetered towards homoerotic (in the 'S.M.O.' video, for example, one might say she's literally waxing a beautiful woman's ass) but 'Girlie-Pop!' marks a bold embrace of queerness for a Ghanaian artist of her magnitude. For years, Ghanaian lawmakers have notoriously been pushing virulent anti-LGBTQ legislation and now they have a president reportedly committed to passing them. Amaarae declaring that the video was shot in Ghana 'with loveeeeee' is a radical act. 'My real mission is for us to not think about sexuality, or to subvert it so much to the point where it subconsciously takes people away from that,' she told Galore about her last album, Fountain Baby, in 2023. 'I wanted to make the music so sexy and captivating that you kind of wouldn't think about what pronouns I was using, no matter if you are straight, gay, pansexual, whatever. That was my way of trying to slowly break that boundary that things have to be in boxes and confined and defined.' So much of this Summer of Sexy has actually been brewing since 2024. Moliy's 'Shake It to the Max (Fly)' is currently one of the biggest songs in the world, and the Ghanaian singer first teased it back in October with a short snippet on TikTok. Today there have been 4.5 million videos made with a remix featuring dancehall stars Skillibeng and Shenseea on the app. In fact, there's been five remixes total, including versions with Sean Paul and Major Lazer. Though Moliy is African, 'Shake It to the Max' has always been a dancehall song, produced by Silent Addy and Disco Neal of the DJ duo Bashment Sound. On July 29, Billboard announced that the song had hit Number One on their Rhythmic Airplay chart, meaning it's a certified smash on American radio. It's also been sitting at Number One on the U.S. Afrobeats Song chart for 12 consecutive weeks, too. 'Shake It to the Max' has reached these heights as a viral anthem for baddies to let loose and whine their waists. Make sure you get out there and heed Moliy's call over the next month. Loosies: More music to move to summer Rema's 'Kelebu' and Theodora's 'Kongolese Sous BBL': So, in honor of the Summer of Sexy, I'm writing about these two at once, as Francophone singer Theodora's burgeoning hit is, in a way, an energetic ancestor to 'Kelebu,' Rema's excellent new party-starter. 'Kelebu' seems inspired by Bouyon, a high-octane dance music from Dominica, as well as Makossa from Cameroon and Coupé-décalé from Côte d'Ivoire (Theodora was born in Switzerland to Congolese parents and has lived all over the world). These are all threads Theodora has been pulling from the past few years, with the excellent 'Kongolese Sous BBL' becoming her biggest hit with well over 47 million streams on Spotify. Rema's closest collaborator, the producer London, also worked with Theodora on her song 'Massoko Na Mabele' from this past May. Darkoo, 'Right Now' featuring Rvssian and Davido: Intuitively, Nigerian hitmaker Darkoo titled her June EP $exy Girl $ummer. 'A lot of the top people in the game who are making music aren't making music for girls,' she told Apple Music. 'They are making music that women like, but it's not about them, and that's what I'm doing. I want them to feel like the sexiest women in the world.' This song definitely does it as the openly queer Darkoo and enthusiastic Davido promise to give some fortunate ladies the world. The song samples Gyptian's Jamaican hit 'Whine Slow,' which Rvssian himself produced. Daddy Lumba, 'Se Sumye Kasa A': This last Loosie is a tribute to Ghanaian legend Daddy Lumba, who died at age 60 on July 26. While he's known as a highlife maven, his music had diverse influences, from gospel to hip-hop, like you can hear on 2002's 'Se Sumye Kasa A.' 'Daddy Lumba really is a risk taker of his time,' Amaarae said in 2023, part of an interview she re-shared in memoriam of Lumba. She had praised his affinity for 'Bad bitches,' adding, 'At a time where male highlife artists were taking very romantic approaches to the way they were writing their music, Daddy Lumba said 'Look, I love the hoes and the hoes love me'.'

Our Favorite Afropop Moments of 2025 So Far
We're officially halfway through 2025, and it's truly giving 'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times' vibes. This month's column is going to lean into the good — a few Afropop moments of innovation, excitement, and inspiration that have made waves this year. This is an unranked list — a slice of joy and pride from my perspective. Still, I'd be remiss if I didn't recognize that around the world and particularly in the African diaspora, it can feel like these achievements pale in comparison to the rampant injustice hitting every corner of the Earth. From the U.S. to East Africa, authoritarianism is on the rise. Last week, in Kenya, security forces reportedly opened fire on demonstrators taking part in anti-government protests that commemorated a year since a mass movement began there against unfair tax hikes. Initially, the protests had seemed successful, with Kenya's President William Ruto announcing that he would not sign the controversial tax bill that was under consideration. However, the government's harsh response to the most recent round of protests has fostered a deepening sense of resentment toward Ruto and his administration. Accounts of government and police repression have only gotten more gruesome, with Amnesty Kenya reporting that 16 people have been shot and killed as of June 28 and local officials claiming that hundreds have been injured (while also alleging that most of those hurt were police officers). Meanwhile, devastating conflicts still rage in Nigeria, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. More from Rolling Stone New Wizkid Documentary Raises Huge Stakes Around a Quiet Superstar La-Di-Da-Di! Eighties Hip-Hop Great Slick Rick Is Back With 'Victory' Doja Cat, Tems, and J Balvin Will Perform at FIFA Club World Cup Final In the face of unrelenting tragedy, we're left to balance the beautiful and the calamitous, fighting to retain our humanity along the way. I've been thinking a lot about what British Nigerian journalist Julie Adenuga and Afrobeat icon Femi Kuti expressed in the forthcoming HBO Max documentary Wizkid: Long Live Lagos (a highlight of this year in Afropop I'll say more about later). They spoke about what it truly means to have a global pop star in Wizkid. As I listened, I contended with the way such representation can seem so fickle and inconsequential when so much else is a clear matter of life or death. 'It shouldn't take for people to like a song for them to feel that there is an entire country and continent of people that are worth investing in,' Adenuga explained, as she and Kuti also imagined the eyes, ears, bodies, and wallets that could be and are being drawn to Africa as it becomes a bigger cultural capital internationally. They imagined how those resources could make a dent in solving the real problems of underdevelopment colonialism left behind. But if nothing else, art, sport, and entertainment remind us of all we are and can create when we have a bit of joy, purpose, and freedom. 'Anyone from where I'm from are kings,' Wizkid says in the documentary. 'And that's what matters, the way you see yourself.' So, here are some moments of that very joy, purpose, and freedom to savor. African Artists Show Up and Out at Coachella It seemed momentous when acts like Burna Boy, Tems, and Uncle Waffles had taken the stage at Coachella in previous years, but this spring, the range and concentration of Afropop stars in the desert felt deep and unique for such an iconic American festival. This April, there was Nigeria's Rema, right after his standout show at Rolling Stone's Future of Music showcase and before he headlined Madison Square Garden for the first time (more on that in a minute). His first weekend debut was plagued by a long delay and technical difficulties, but he bounced back with the type of spectacle he's near mastering for the second. As another massive export to make the lineup in the same year, Tyla's slick dance moves and music repping her South African culture shined. Amaarae got her Black Star era off to a rousing start with her set, leaving a sea of Ghanaian flags waving in the audience as the first act from the West African nation to perform solo at Coachella. And the always cool and curt Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 brought real Afrobeat to the scene with a moving sense of conviction and musicality, invoking the spirit of Fela. Rema Rages at SXSW In March, Rema fans flocked to Austin for his headlining set that closed out Rolling Stone's Future of Music showcase, following his turn as the magazine's first Black African cover star. His show at ACL Live at the Moody Theatre hit capacity, which admittedly surprised me for a city not particularly known to be a hub of Black or African culture. The energy was absolutely ferocious, too. To close out his electric set, Rema summoned the dark energy of 'Ozeba,' a Heis hit modeled after a Nollywood horror film. 'If you wanna take off your shoes, take off your shoes,' he said before it. 'If you wanna take off your wig, take off your wig.' While shoes and wigs seemed to remain mostly intact, the crowd took the spirit of the invite to heart, jumping, screaming, and sweating to the sound of an Afrobeats visionary. Tems Wins a Grammy, Owns Part of a Soccer Team, and Reps Omega Watches OK, Tems has been making major moves this year, so I'll go chronologically — you find it motivational, remember that you have the same 185 days left in the year as her. In February, she kicked things off by winning her first Grammy as a lead artist for her single 'Love Me Jeje,' which Rolling Stone named the best Afropop song of 2024. She took home the trophy for Best African Music Performance, an award that's only a few years old. Just 10 days later, it was announced that she had joined Major League Soccer's San Diego FC's ownership group with a stake in the team, a contingent that includes Issa Rae. And this month, Tems became a luxurious face of Omega watches, alongside five other women including model Ashley Graham and Academy Award-winner Ariana DeBose. Though we fell in love with her as a tender singer-songwriter, she's becoming a bona fide superstar and diversifying her impact. It's lovely to watch. Becomes the First Nigerian Film to Officially Debut at Cannes Interestingly enough, this historic feat is tangentially related to Tems. My Father's Shadow, from Nigerian filmmakers and brothers Akinola Davies Jr. and Wale Davies, is a semi-autobiographical but fictional film that follows a small family over the course of a single day in 1993 Lagos — when then-ruling Gen. Ibrahim Babangida controversially canceled a democratic election, sparking months of fatal vitriol. Wale Davies — who wrote the first iteration of the script that explores the meaning of fatherhood and nationalism — is Tems' longtime co-manager. He's also an artist himself, in the rap duo Show Dem Camp, and now heads his own Fatherland Productions, an A&R for Sony Music Publishing in Africa. (Do you people sleep?) Ahead of the premiere at Cannes this month, Davies spoke with journalist Nelson C.J. for OkayAfrica (C.J. is also a Rolling Stone contributor). 'As much as I enjoy the hype and the accolades, it's really about the work,' Davies said. 'When it finally goes out into the world, the whole conversation changes, and hopefully some of the dialogue we intended for the film can finally kick off.' Premieres at Tribeca Film Festival On June 22, Afrobeats star Wizkid gave the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles a hell of a show, complemented by an entire orchestra. A clip of him performing Kevin Lyttle's soca classic 'Turn Me On' into his own hit 'Come Closer' lives rent free in my brain. It felt triumphant to see after screening the forthcoming HBO Max documentary Wizkid: Long Live Lagos, which premiered at Tribeca Film Festival in New York in June as well. As I alluded to earlier, in following Wizkid as he became the first African artist to play London's elite Tottenham Hotspur Stadium nearly two years ago, the film makes a case for why these feats matter. It offers a rare, head-on glimpse into the notably private and reserved singer's personal life, but largely, the film focuses on Wizkid as not just a man but an institution, the tension between the two, and the world of possibility that comes with both.
