Wizkid has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first African artist to exceed 10 billion streams on Spotify across all credits.
Wizkid could be regarded as the original progenitor of the Afrobeats to the world movement. His latest record breaking feat is a testament to his global influence and the rising dominance of Afrobeats in the international music scene.

Also, one of his most popular songs is the track ‘Essence’, featuring Tems, which has over 335 million streams as his leading piece.
Over the years, Wizkid has contributed to the popularisation of African sounds, and his journey reflects the evolving landscape of African music.
He has stretched the boundaries of what is achievable through Afrobeats, and hopefully many others will join him.
He joins the ranks of Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, Drake, Ariana Grande, The Weekend and Arijit Singh in the tens of billions club on Spotify.
