Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

Barely six months after Boomplay Nigeria raised $20 million in a Series A Funding, the company has continued to expand, whilst positioning itself to become Africa’s answer to Spotify, Tidal, and other large music streaming platforms. The latest news from the company said it is now making inroads into French-speaking African countries in addition to the English-speaking countries where it currently operates.

Dele Kadiri, who acts as the company’s General Manager, disclosed this recently in Lagos. According to him, some of the countries on the company’s target list include the likes of Cote d’Ivoire and Cameroun. It is also targeting North America and Europe where there are sizable concentrations of migrants from African countries.

“We have started to look at the Francophone regions such as Cameroon and Cote d’Ivoire, as well as the areas where there is a large diaspora community such as North America and Europe.”
