<h2>Afrobeats is truly becoming a global phenomenon, and one way we’ve seen this is at the intersection of music and fashion.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Here are five times Nigerian musicians walked international runways:</p>

<p>Wizkid walked the runway for Dolce &amp; Gabbana in 2018 for Milan Fashion Week. He strutted solo and also walked with arguably the most famous model of all time, Naomi Campbell. It was a truly exciting time, and many people hailed him as a record-breaker. Even though <strong>D'banj</strong> walked the runway at the African Fashion International Johannesburg Fashion Week in 2018.</p>

<p>In 2022, Davido wore a customized tracksuit to walk the runway for Puma in New York for New York Fashion Week. His outfit generated endless conversations online.</p>
