“Women Drive the Music Scene – Darkoo Shares Bold Take”

According to British-Nigerian singer Darkoo, women shaped the popularity of the majority of songs and genres.

According to the Favourite Girl hitmaker, many songs became popular because ladies enjoy them and frequently persuade men to listen to or enjoy their music.

Using the rise of the South African genre, Amapiano, as an example of a genre popularized by women, Darkoo made an appearance on a recent episode of the Comfortably Speaking podcast. Darkoo claimed that the genre acquired popularity after women began dancing to its beats on social media.

“The truth of the matter is music, the world in general, is dictated by women. You play Sexyy Red in your car, why? Because you go and pick up one girl, you want her to enter your Lamborghini, what are you going to play? Are you going to play trap, trap in a Brando?

“A lot of music you like is because women like it. And if you listen to certain genres of music, I feel like women got into Amapiano first when they were doing dance trends on social media. Back then, people were looking at them like they were being weird. But now, men are f*cking with Amapiano,” she explained.
