In this episode of #ATTWSpace, we unpack some of the biggest conversations shaping music and culture right now.

We dive into Afrobeats' growing presence on the global stage through the ongoing FIFA World Cup performances, with stars like Davido and Burna Boy sharing the spotlight with Shakira, while Rema joins forces with Anitta and Lisa. We also discuss the reactions that followed after Davido used the global platform to draw attention to Nigeria's ongoing insecurity challenges through his fashion choice, and why the move has sparked debate across social media and beyond.

We then turn our attention to the upcoming 18th Headies Awards, set to take place in Toronto, Canada. We also review Ayra Starr's latest release, Tornado and other new releases.
