Top 3 DJs in Nigeria: P Tee Money Runs Away With the Fan Vote

By Theo Lindqvist·August 14, 2026

Nigeria's DJ ranking rarely resolves this cleanly. When the fan votes were tallied, one name sat comfortably clear of the field, while the real fight happened just below.

A commanding lead at the top

P Tee Money takes the number one spot with 3,969 fan votes — a margin of 1,659 over the nearest challenger. That is not a squeaker; it is a statement. The Deep House specialist also posts the highest credit score of the three at 641, meaning the win is not a one-metric fluke. Votes and score point the same direction.

That a deep house artist tops a Nigerian fan poll is worth pausing on. The country's electronic conversation is broad, and this ranking reflects it: three DJs, three different lanes. P Tee Money's constituency showed up, and showed up in numbers. An Instagram following of 726,364 suggests a fanbase with reach beyond any single streaming platform, though as ever with collected social data, no single figure tells the whole story.

The real race: second place

If the top spot was settled early, second place was anything but. Amma edges out Spinall by just 243 votes — 2,310 to 2,067 — the tightest gap anywhere in this ranking. The credit scores mirror that closeness: 573 for Amma against 546 for Spinall, a 27-point difference that could swing in either direction next cycle.

Amma's profile is that of a working House DJ with a genuinely distributed audience: 32,200 YouTube subscribers, 127,756 Instagram followers, and 26,036 Last.fm listeners. No single platform dominates. That kind of spread often signals an act whose support comes from people who actually listen, rather than one viral spike — and it converted into enough votes to hold off a far more famous name.

The heavyweight in third

Because make no mistake: Spinall is the biggest social-media presence in this top three by a distance. With 2,095,217 Instagram followers and 152,170 Last.fm listeners, the Electronica artist arrives with the kind of numbers most DJs on any national ranking would envy.

And yet Spinall sits third. This is the recurring lesson of fan-vote rankings: follower counts measure attention, votes measure motivation. A large audience does not automatically translate into ballots, and the voters who decide these lists reward the artists who mobilise them, not merely the ones they follow. Spinall's 2,067 votes and 546 credit score are respectable — enough for a podium finish — but Amma's base simply turned out harder.

What this ranking says about the scene

Three takeaways. First, the four-figure gap at the top means P Tee Money's position is secure for now — nobody in this field is within striking distance on votes. Second, the 243-vote margin between second and third makes that battle the one to watch; a modest push from either camp flips it. Third, the genre spread — Deep House at number one, House at two, Electronica at three — shows Nigerian fans are not voting along a single stylistic line. The four-on-the-floor end of the spectrum claims the top two spots, but the ranking as a whole rewards distinct identities rather than one dominant sound.

Rankings like this are snapshots, not verdicts. But this snapshot is unambiguous about one thing: in Nigeria right now, P Tee Money's fans are the loudest voting bloc in the room — and everyone else is fighting for second.
