The tracks from Afrobeats artist Wizkid’s latest album “Morayo” are all in the top 17 on Apple Music, shattering previous records.

Less than 10 hours after the album’s release, this accomplishment was made.

His mother, Juliana Morayo Balogun, passed away in August 2023, and the album, which was published today, November 22, 2024, is an homage to her.

No. 4 on the U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart and No. 7 on the World Digital Song Sales list were reached with the album’s debut song, “Piece of My Heart.”

One of Morayo’s tunes had 1.57 million Spotify plays on its first day, shattering Nigeria’s streaming records.

Daniel Anidugbe, better known by his stage name Kizz Daniel, is a Nigerian singer who has advised his peers to give up trying to reach the top of the charts on streaming services.

He urged them to concentrate on their craft, emphasizing that the popularity of songs on some streaming services doesn’t necessarily translate to other platforms.

“Stop worrying about social media algorithms and concentrate on your art.” I doubt you have heard of a man named Killer Mike. Grammy winner four times.

“Stop chasing the number one song; it’s mediocre now. Everything is under your control. The majority of those songs’ numbers don’t match up on other platforms. “Check,” he wrote.

Kizz Daniel explained in a different post that while he isn’t opposed to using bots to increase streams because it’s a marketing tactic, it’s not for well-known artists.

He claimed that rather than disparaging his peers, his role was to support up-and-coming musicians in releasing their music without worrying about it failing to catch on with streaming services.

“Farming is marketing for placement and all, therefore it’s not a crime. However, who gets the money?

“We’re not trying to disparage anyone here before the beginning; we’re just encouraging the younger generation to uncover those undiscovered treasures. Daniel wrote, “I will learn.”

Nigerian street music is ruled by renowned rapper Olamide, according to singer Crown Uzama, also known as Shallipopi.

Shallipopi revealed in a recent interview with Naija FM that he included Olamide in his song “Order” due to his street-level fame.

The founder and supreme figure of Nigerian street music is Baddo [Olamide]. Olamide rules the street, therefore I had to include him on “Order,” he remarked, since it’s a street song.

In addition, Shallipopi acknowledged in the interview that he had split from Dapper Music.

According to him, he left the label after his contract expired.

Reports of a breach between him and his previous label were refuted by him.

According to him, they get along well.
