Did French Montana really open the door for Afrobeats globally with Unforgettable?

In this video, we break down the facts, timelines, and musical structure behind the claim that the 2017 hit “Unforgettable” made Afrobeats go global. While the song was undeniably a massive success — peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning Diamond certification — was it truly the first global breakthrough for the genre?

We examine:

• The rise of Afrobeats in Nigeria, Ghana, and the UK diaspora in the early 2000s
• The global impact of Drake’s “One Dance” featuring Wizkid in 2016
• How Wizkid’s “Essence” featuring Tems charted on the Billboard Hot 100
• Rema’s “Calm Down” and its historic global run
• The production differences between Afrobeats and dancehall
• Whether “Unforgettable” is even structurally an Afrobeats song

This is not about discrediting anyone — it’s about setting the historical record straight. Afrobeats didn’t rise overnight, and it wasn’t built on one single record. It was a movement built over decades by African artists, producers, DJs, and diaspora communities.

So, did Unforgettable open the door — or did it arrive after the door was already open?
