Entertainment & Celebrity Gossip.

The news as it trends.

Nigeria’s Afrobeats sensation Wizkid has achieved an incredible 9 billion streams on Spotify, solidifying his status as one of the most streamed African artists of all time.

This milestone is more than a badge of honor—it has major financial implications.

Spotify compensates artists through stream-based royalties, and hitting 9 billion plays can translate into millions of dollars, depending on contracts and rights agreements.

Wizkid’s global success has also elevated his brand value, unlocking sponsorships, endorsements, and sold-out international tours.

His hit singles—Essence, Come Closer, and Joro—have broken cultural barriers and introduced Afrobeats to audiences worldwide.

With every stream, Wizkid not only earns income—he continues to shape the sound of this generation.

From this blog, we say hail to the undisputed king of Afrobeats.
