Nekfeu resonates with 18-24 & 25-34 audiences and sustains presence in FRANCE, BELGIUM, ALGERIA.

Performance concentrates on Youtube, averaging 9,120,306 avg views per post; Youtube amplifies the conversation around drops and moments. Affinity adjacency with leading lifestyle names maps cleanly into streetwear, music platforms, and lifestyle products. That alignment reduces creative risk and increases the odds of shareable outcomes.

Artist Affinity estimates how strongly an artist's audience overlaps with interest in specific brands, products, and categories. It is derived from aggregated social and behavioral signals—who fans follow, save, click, and engage with—normalized across platforms. Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact. Treat affinity as directional—validate with creative tests and small pilots before scaling.

ER = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ audience per post ≥ 3.0% = Very Strong 2.0–2.99% = Strong 1.0–1.99% = Moderate < 1.0% = Low

How to read it: Pair ER with reach (views/followers) to gauge intensity and scale.
