Afrobeats styles started in the mid-2000s and the late 1990s. The introduction of MTV Base Africa in 2005 gave the artists of West Africa a worldwide audience. Artists such as MI Abaga and Fuse ODG made use of this new exposure. In the early days, many the afrobeats artists would be interpreting R&B and hip-hop. However the early pioneers of the style, such as Fuse ODG, were creating their own distinct sounds that mixed modern western influences and traditional melodies. This was, unfortunately, hindered by the language barrier but the rising appeal of the style has led to musicians are trying to make it their own.

In 2014, the hit song Say Yes by Michelle Williams was released by Michelle Williams. It is a reworking of the Nigerian song "When Jesus Says "Yes". The song's beats follow the 3-2 and 2-3 of Afrobeats. It's no surprise that this song is now a worldwide popular hit, peaking at number five at the top of the UK singles chart. One of the major contributions of the genre is the collaboration between two of the most famous Afrobeats artistes, Olamide and wife Bukunmi Adedeji.

Another way Afrobeats have made its mark on the world is because of the popularity of a chart. Afro Nation is launching a chart in the UK to showcase the music of Afrobeats from the UK artists. In essence, Afrobeats is an amalgamation of R&B dancehall, R&B, as well as West African pop culture. The songs of Afrobeats are designed to be positive, high-energy melodies.

The Afrobeats trend began to spread all over the music world when Drake introduced it to the world on his hit song "One Dance." After the track surpassed millions of streams through Spotify, it became the biggest-selling single ever released on the music streaming service. This has allowed Afrobeats to be more accessible for mainstream fans. It also has gained international recognition, as artists from all over world have joined forces on music. The trend has only recently taken on a mainstream status, and Drake hasn't been the sole artist to challenge the trend.

Afrobeats is a well-known genre of music that blends African sounds with Black American influences. The result is a unique and beautiful blend of different cultures. This type of music was largely created by Nigerian musician Fela Kuti and his group, Africa 70. The group is responsible for the development of a genre that fuses West African rhythms, predominantly Ghanaian and Nigerian, with R'n'B vocal arrangements.
