Wizkid becomes first African artiste to surpass 11 billion Spotify streams

Wizkid has made global  music history after becoming the first African artiste to surpass 11 billion streams across all credits on Spotify.

The milestone cements his status as one of the most streamed African musicians of all time, following a steady rise driven by a decade of hit records, global collaborations, and chart-topping projects.

Wizkid’s streaming dominance is powered by major international successes such as “One Dance” with Drake and Kyla, as well as his critically acclaimed catalog including “Essence” featuring Tems and his award-winning album Made in Lagos (Deluxe).

The achievement also builds on his previous record as the first African artist to hit 10 billion Spotify streams earlier in 2
