In 2014, Nigerian artistes released a couple of interesting music videos. However, as the year comes to a close, statistics have revealed that Davido’s Aye was the most watched video on YouTube.
The visuals for the smash hit became popular, because of the story line and the location it was set in. It was Davido like we’ve never seen him before.
In second spot is Don Jazzy and his Mavins crew bringing live to their massive single Dorobucci. Nicki Minaj’s Anacoda is the only foreign song on the list and it completes the top three.
