The stage was graced by an ensemble of extraordinary female Afrobeat artists, turning the night into a harmonious celebration of power and grace.

More than mere formalities, the introductions at A Night of Queens were mini-celebrations, each one tailored to the upcoming artist.

Omotola Jalade Ekeinde‘s star-struck introductions added a touch of glamour, ensuring each queen’s entrance was met with thunderous applause. This was a sisterhood, not just a lineup, and the respect and energy exchanged between the queens only magnified the power of the night.

The stage wasn’t just a platform for music; it was a canvas where stories were told, emotions were felt, and a celebration of the indomitable spirit of women in the music industry unfolded. From the sultry ballads to the high-energy anthems, every note resonated with power, grace, and a celebration of the feminine spirit.

The night featured stellar performances from Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade, Simi, Waje, Niniola, Teni, Ms.Dsf and other remarkable artists, each contributing to the symphony of sounds that defined “A Night of Queens.”

Every artist brought their individual charm, weaving together a symphony that echoed the unified rhythm of the audience. “A Night of Queens” not only honoured the musical excellence of these queens but also redefined norms, introducing a new era of inclusivity and empowerment in the music landscape.
