1. Omawumi Megbele – The Soul Queen of Warri

If Delta State had a queen of vocal thunder, let’s not deceive ourselves—it’s Omawumi.

This Warri-born powerhouse didn’t come to play. After blessing us with her divine voice on West African Idols and finishing as runner-up, she rolled up her sleeves, went into the studio, and started releasing tracks that hit deep. Songs like If You Ask Me and Bottom Belle weren’t just musical; they were national experiences.

But Omawumi isn’t just an artiste; she’s a full-blown brand. From acting in Nollywood blockbusters to headlining concerts, signing endorsement deals, and even co-owning a production company, this woman is not just singing—she's building an empire. And let’s not even forget that voice—soulful, powerful, and blessed by the ancestors.

2. Erigga (Erhiga Agarivbie) – The Street Pastor of Warri

Ladies and gentlemen, Erigga is not just a rapper—he’s a movement. If Warri had a poet laureate, it would be Paperboi. From the way he blends real-life struggles with heavy Pidgin punchlines, you know this man doesn’t just rap for clout. He’s speaking for the trenches, for the guys wey dey hustle with pure water and vibes.

With songs like Motivation, Welcome to Warri, and Problem Nor Dey Finish, Erigga took street music and turned it into philosophy. The man raps with sense, and sometimes, with righteous anger. And let’s be real, his music has helped a lot of people avoid making poor decisions. He’s like the street pastor we didn’t know we needed.

He’s performed on stages across Nigeria, gathered loyal fans like cult members (the peaceful type, don’t worry), and he’s constantly dropping music that connects deeply with the people.

“Wetin we gain if we no make money?” That line right there? It’s not just a lyric—it’s an entire life philosophy. Victor AD hit the scene like thunder with Wetin We Gain, and Nigerians, especially hustlers, took that message and ran with it.

This young Delta boy made every hustler feel seen. He gave us motivation, vibes, and real-life lyrics without sounding preachy. Since then, he’s released several other tracks that show he’s here for the long haul.

Orezi has a unique style—flashy, catchy, and unapologetically streetwise. His music is the kind that makes you forget your problems for 3 minutes and just vibe.
