Nigerian Afrobeats star Ayodeji Balogun, known as Wizkid, sets a new Spotify streaming milestone by becoming the first African artiste to reach more than 11 billion streams. Multiple outlets report that the achievement marks a record on the platform for African artists and adds to Wizkid’s ongoing global music profile. The reports note that the milestone comes shortly after the release of a recent collaboration involving Wizkid and DJ Tunez. While the articles focus on the record itself, they also frame the development as part of Wizkid’s broader career momentum outside Nigeria, emphasizing his status as an early and prominent African act reaching exceptionally high streaming totals. One outlet also highlights public and fan reactions to the news, but the central information across the coverage is that Wizkid is credited with surpassing the 11 billion Spotify streams mark and is recognized as the first African artiste to do so.
