Among the Nigerians included in the 2025 list are Ayra Starr, Tems, Danliel Obasi, Grace Ladoja, Seni Saraki, and Teezee. Their selection reflects the growing visibility of Nigerian voices in international fashion, music, and creative production.
Ayra Starr and Tems, both award-winning musicians, were recognized for their influence beyond music, particularly in shaping youth culture and style. Their inclusion followed a year of major achievements, including global tours, brand collaborations, and expanding recognition across entertainment and fashion media.
Daniel Obasi, a visual artist and stylist known for his work on music videos and editorial projects, was also named in the 2025 list. His contribution continues to connect Nigerian fashion and art to wider creative networks. Grace Ladoja, a long-time figure in London’s creative scene and co-founder of the management company Metallic Inc, was recognized for her work in artist development and cultural advocacy.
Other honorees, Seni Saraki and Teezee, have been central to Nigeria’s growing creative and nightlife scene through their roles in the management and promotion of local culture.
