Pioneered and given life to by Nigerian music legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Afrobeat was been a long time coming. 
Fela’s music style has made a lot of impact just like his lifetime which is still a point of reference for a lot of Nigerian youths today. Nowadays it seems Afrobeats is all Nigerian artistes are about, but it is definitely deeper than that. This beat-heavy, electronic music from Nigeria which is a portrayal of our African roots and origin has gained and is still gaining a global fan base and is a point of pride across Africa.
Having a sound that promotes the African culture and heritage is surely an addition to the many reasons why Afrobeat is currently the biggest sound in the world. Aside from the fact that it is even helping local artists make real money, this sound is the biggest sound in the world because international artists have seen that this is what cannot be replicated but only birthed with deep roots.

Many have come out to say they fear that Afrobeat is reducing the entire continent to a single signature sound; but this is not entirely true because this sound has flexibility like no other, whereby it can be adopted into R&B, Pop, Highlife, whatever the genre, this sound assumes that suit.
Nigerian singers like Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Adekunle Gold, Teni, Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade to mention a few, all have various styles of singing, but one thing they have in common is their use of the Afrobeat sound.

Hence at the end of the day, we hear all genres through the Afrobeats sound. This sound is and has the potential to remain the biggest sound in the world because it has established a path to global domination that other genres can follow. In fact, even international stars like Drake, Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande, etc have adopted this style of music and many more are following in such steps.
Every day new singers arise and they present their own style but still manage to maintain that Afrobeat touch because it is evergreen. People like Tems, Fave, Asa, Johnny Drille, Brymo all have diverse and unique perspectives in which they deliver their music, but they succeed in making this sound even purer. Since its inception in the 90s, the Afrobeat sound has and will always remain dominant because people will always find new ways to adapt it and that is where it surpasses other genres.
