Back in 2018, Naomi Campbell and then-boyfriend Skepta were profiled for GQ. As Campbell was describing a visit to Nelson Mandela's home, Skepta interrupted, asking "Was there Wi-Fi?" twice. Campbell responded in the negative, to which Skepta said: "As long as there was Wi-Fi, I would have stayed at Nelson Mandela’s house." I think about this statement a lot.

Anyway, Naomi Campbell has made a Black History Month playlist for Apple Music. The mix is almost entirely made up of Afrobeat and Afrobeat-inspired artists, and Campbell takes tracks from global stars like Drake, Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Skepta as well as regional talent. It's very good! Listen below.
