One may ask, what music does Obama listen to? Barack Obama loves Afrobeats, R&B, Pop, and Hip Hop among many others. It’s been the Senator’s habit to share his favourite music, movies and books at the end of every year. Considering this isn’t the first time he’s posted an end-of-the-year playlist. Similarly, in December 2021 he made a post of all his favourite music for that year.

Barack Obama who’s very much aware of contemporary music and its genre has a thing for afrobeats. A playlist that consists of twenty-five (25) songs includes three afrobeats songs from popular Nigerian artists.
We’re not surprised that Burna Boy’s Last Last, Rema’s Calm Down, and Ayra Starr’s Rush made it to Obama’s favourite music. They’re among the best 2022 afrobeats songs and not to mention all three artists are of Nigerian descent.
