The publication quoted Knowles as saying: “MePlaylist is Africa’s own answer to the popular music streaming platforms, but it takes streaming a step further by personalising the experience for each consumer based on their consumption patterns and the technology available to them.
“This and the population of Africans both on the continent and in the diaspora is why I am proud to have invested in MePlaylist,” he said.
