At two immersive events named #SpotifyPodcastsLagos and #SpotifyAfrobeats on Thursday, October 12, and Friday, October 13, Spotify pulled together celebrities, podcasters, influencers, music executives, media personalities, and music enthusiasts.

These included Tony Doe from “Into the Podverse” and “Tony Doe Media,” Ayomide Tayo from “Loose Talk,” Dami Aros from “So Nigerian,” and Fay Fay, the creator of “Naija Podhub.”
Afterwards, guests were treated to fascinating and provocative live podcast sessions, which included A-list Nigerian content creators Joey Akan from “Afrobeats Intelligence” and Jola Ayeye and Feyikemi Abudu from the loved “I Said What I Said.”
