Nigerians dominated the list of Africa’s Most Talked About People in 2024, according to Top Charts Africa. Out of the top 30, Nigerians occupied 18 spots.

Wizkid, the Nigerian singer, claimed the number one spot. He remained in the spotlight throughout the year due to his ongoing feud with fellow artist Davido and the release of his new album, Morayo.

Kenya's President, William Ruto, secured second place. Ruto grabbed international attention in June when protests broke out in Kenya over new tax laws.

After the protests led to the storming of Parliament, Ruto rejected a bill and signed the "Appropriations Bill 2024" to solve the country's budget issues.

Nigerian singer Davido came in third, with his trending year highlighted by his widely publicized wedding to Chioma, dubbed Chivido 2024.

The rest of the top 10 include Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, businessman Aliko Dangote, former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga, Nigerian crossdresser Bobrisky, South African singer Tyla, Nigerian politician Peter Obi, and South African music star Liema Pantsi.

The list also featured Baltasar Engonga, a former public official from Equatorial Guinea, who became an internet sensation after private videos of him went viral.
