Rema & Asake Enlisted On Barack Obama’s Favourite Music Of 2024 Former President Barack Obama continues his tradition of sharing his annual playlists, and this year is no different. On his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), Obama unveiled his highly anticipated "Favorite Music of 2024" list, showcasing a mix of global hits and emerging talents that have dominated his playlist. Among the diverse range of songs included, Nigerian stars Rema and Asake proudly make the cut, further solidifying Afrobeat's position on the global music stage. Rema's hit track "Yayo" and Asake's collaboration with Travis Scott on "Active" earned their spots on the prestigious list, standing alongside works from international heavyweights like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Billie Eilish. Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Rema has caught the former president's attention this year. Earlier in 2024, "Yayo" was also featured on Barack Obama’s Summer Playlist, a testament to the song’s lasting appeal and the profound global influence of Afrobeat music. The playlist, celebrated for its eclectic blend, also features notable tracks such as "Lunch" by Billie Eilish, "Texas Hold 'Em" by Beyoncé, and "God Gave Me Feet for Dancing" by Ezra Collective & Yazmin Lacey. Obama's selection underscores his appreciation for a wide range of genres, from Afrobeat to indie, hip-hop, and more. This recognition not only highlights the global appeal of Nigerian artists but also emphasizes the increasing impact of Afrobeat music worldwide. Rema and Asake's inclusion reflects the genre's ability to transcend borders and connect with listeners from diverse backgrounds. As music lovers eagerly explore the playlist, it's clear that Obama’s yearly tradition continues to be a cultural moment, spotlighting music that inspires, excites, and unites.
