His latest single, Piece of My Heart, featuring American R&B star Brent Faiyaz, has broken the record for the biggest streaming day on Spotify Nigeria.

The track amassed over 1.016 million streams in just 24 hours, making it the first song in the country’s history to surpass the 1 million stream mark on Spotify Nigeria in a single day.

This remarkable achievement places Nigeria alongside only 21 other countries where a song has received over a million streams on its Spotify chart in a single day.

Faiyaz, known for hits like Dead Man Walking and Gravity, has been carving out a name for himself in the R&B genre with his unique sound.

Teaming up with Wizkid, who has become a global icon in Afrobeats and African music, the duo created a track that resonated with audiences both locally and internationally.

This new record also marks the biggest streaming debut for a song by an African artist in Spotify history, further highlighting Wizkid’s dominance on the global stage.

His collaboration with Brent Faiyaz underscores his ability to effortlessly blend genres and work with top international artists, further establishing him as a key player in the global music scene.

With this record-breaking achievement, Wizkid continues to elevate Afrobeats and Nigerian music to new heights, while also inspiring a generation of African artists to aim for the global stage.
