Nigerian artistes Tems and Rema have earned spots on Barack Obama’s highly anticipated 2024 summer playlist.

Curated by the former U.S. president, the playlist features a diverse mix of international and domestic artists.

Obama announced the playlist via his X handle, stating, “With summer winding down, I wanted to share some songs that I’ve been listening to lately – and it wouldn’t be my playlist if it didn’t include an eclectic mix. I hope you find something new to listen to!”

The playlist includes Tems’ track “Love Me Jeje” from her debut album, showcasing her soulful style and emotional depth.

Rema’s “Yayo” from his sophomore album “HEIS” also makes the cut, having topped the charts in Greece and amassed over 60 million streams on Spotify.

Obama’s playlist also features Charli XCX’s “365,” Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em,” Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby,” “Wanna Be” by Glorilla & Megan Thee Stallion, Billie Eilish’s “CHIHIRO,” as well as classic tracks like 2Pac’s “How Do U Want It” featuring K-Ci & JoJo and Bob Dylan’s “Silvio.”

Recall during a recent interview with influencer Carter Gregory (thecarterb), Obama revealed that his daughters, Sasha and Malia, play a key role in keeping his musical tastes current and broadening his musical horizons.

“I get referrals from my daughters — which keeps me not stuck in the ’80s,” the former president told Mr Gregory.
