Davido and Wizkid
Nigerian singers Davido, Wizkid and South African comedian Trevor
Noah make the list of the most followed Africans on the social networks
Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, a report has said.
According to campsbay media, the African Social Media Power Report:
Top 50 Footballers and Entertainers was released on January 26.
The Power 50 has a combined following of almost 400million, a
number that is more than half the population of Europe and twice the
population of Nigeria, Africa’s most populated country.
The Power 50, which weighs the social media influence of African
pop culture stars and football personalities, was compiled by
Lagos-based sports communication company, CampsBay Media.
“In a world where social media continues to play a big role,
the influence of African entertainers and footballers, the crème of
popular culture on our continent, continues to fascinate and that is why
we have compiled this list,” said Lolade Adewuyi, chief strategist at
CampsBay Media.
“We have tried as much as possible to gather the top African
pop and sport stars into the list in order to show their influence
across the three key social media platforms of Instagram, Facebook and
Twitter.
We hope that the Power Report will be an annual ranking to
gauge their growing impact as well as enable market planners and
researchers to see the possibilities inherent in their influence.”
Personalities from 12 countries are represented on the list with
the top 10 places filled by Musician Akon, footballers Mohamed Salah and
Didier Drogba, Moroccan stand-up comedian Gad el Maleh, Cameroonian
footballer Samuel Eto’o, Moroccan actor Jamel Debbouze, Nigerian singer
Wizkid and South African actress Charlize Theron.
Also, on the report are 13 actors/actresses, 14 singers, nine
rappers, eight footballers, four comedians and two music producers/DJs.
The report also includes a list of the top 50 African footballers
and top 50 African entertainers on the three social media platforms.
