The recognition came as part of the EU’s effort to spotlight African companies doing well in arts, music, and culture. Chocolate City stood out for its strong influence, smart business moves, and support for new talent. Over the years, the label has shaped the careers of top stars like M.I Abaga, Ice Prince, and Brymo.
Founded in 2005, Chocolate City has grown from a local label to an international force. One major milestone was its global partnership with Warner Music. This deal helped the label reach fans outside Africa and showed that Nigerian music has global appeal.
Chocolate City has also been a launchpad for fresh talent. Artists like Blaqbonez, Candy Bleakz, and Young Jonn have used the platform to grow their careers. The label keeps pushing creative limits and leading the way in modern African music.
Being named by the EU as one of Africa’s top creative enterprises adds to the label’s long list of achievements. It shows that African talent is gaining more attention and respect around the world. The award is also proof that investing in the creative industry in Africa pays off.
This moment is more than just an award. It sends a message to the world: African creativity is powerful, fresh, and here to stay. As Chocolate City celebrates, many believe this win will open new doors and inspire other African labels to dream even bigger.
