    The Afrobeats scene is booming, and female artists are making global waves—but behind the glitz and glamour lies a deeper reality. In this eye-opening episode of The Artiste Hangout Podcast with Femi Makx, we dive into the hidden struggles, double standards, and industry politics that female Afrobeats artists face daily. From Tems, Ayra Starr, and Tiwa Savage to Teni, Yemi Alade, and Niniola, these powerhouse women are redefining the genre, yet they often have to work twice as hard for recognition.

Joining me for this unfiltered conversation is Richmond, a passionate supporter of female Afrobeats artists. Together, we break down the challenges, biases, and what needs to change to create a fairer industry. Key topics in this episode: ✔️ Why female Afrobeats artists struggle for industry respect ✔️ The impact of sexualization and double standards ✔️ Odumodublvck’s viral comment about Tems & Ayra Starr ✔️ How we can better support women in Afrobeats 🎧 Tune in, share your thoughts, and let’s keep the conversation going!
