Wizkid’s Kese (Dance) Disappears from Apple Music Top 100 Chart
Wizkid’s latest hit single, Kese (Dance), which broke records upon its release, has mysteriously vanished from Apple Music’s Top 100 chart.
Released on November 15, 2024, Dance quickly rose to the top, clinching the number one spot on Apple Music Nigeria’s Top 100 chart just hours after its debut.
The song also achieved a monumental feat on Spotify, garnering 2.753 million streams globally within its first day, setting a new record for an African song.
However, fans were left puzzled when the chart-topping single suddenly disappeared from Apple Music’s charts.
Many have attributed this to the platform’s stringent policies regarding streaming manipulations, suggesting that potential irregularities in streaming activities might have led to its removal.
Apple Music is known for enforcing strict measures to ensure authenticity in streaming numbers, and this incident has raised questions about how streaming data is monitored and verified.
The unexpected takedown has fueled a broader conversation about the pressures artists face to achieve record-breaking numbers in the competitive music industry.
Fans and critics alike are rumouring that the song’s streams might undergo a thorough review and possible deduction before being reinstated on the charts.
Dance marked a significant milestone in Wizkid’s illustrious career, showcasing his ability to connect with audiences worldwide and maintain his status as a leading figure in Afrobeats.
The song’s disappearance has sparked debates on social media, with fans defending Wizkid and calling for transparency in how streaming platforms handle such cases.
Others view it as an opportunity for the industry to address concerns about the authenticity of streaming figures and the role of artificial boosts.
Nigerian actress Juliana Olayode expresses her worry regarding the increase in sex rates among teenagers.
The actress took to social media and expressed her shock at the things she has heard from teenagers, claiming that it is a serious issue.
“What is your body count? The things I hear these days, especially from teenagers, leave me speechless and break my heart. While some people would say, ‘Enjoy your life while you’re young, make all the mistakes you want now,’ I don’t — that includes sexually.”
“Sex is spiritual. People only talk about the fun part; nobody really talks about the spiritual aspect of it. Sex and other sexual activities are for MARRIED people. I can write an epistle about this.”

Ghanaian-American singer Amaarae goes viral after sharing her thoughts on the current state of Afrobeats, stating that the genre has stalled.
She expressed concern about how Afrobeats is becoming too repetitive and urged artists to experiment with new sounds.
“Afrobeats and African music need to evolve. It needs to evolve in a direction that is fearless, and I think right now artists have made so much money from a certain type of sound that they are afraid to step out of the boundaries because they are probably more focused on the financial aspect of it. And as a result, I think Afrobeats has stalled.”
The singer then gave an example, commenting on how Rema did just that with his recent album “HEIS”.
