Spotify has marked the 10th anniversary of Wizkid’s hit single “Ojuelegba,” recognizing its significant impact on the global music scene.
In a statement by Phiona Okumu, Spotify’s Head of Music for Sub-Saharan Africa, it was highlighted that the song has garnered over 55 million streams since its debut in 2014.
“Ojuelegba” played a pivotal role in shaping the rise of Afrobeats, propelling the genre onto the world stage and capturing the attention of millions of fans across different continents.
Okumu noted that the track’s influence extends far beyond its Nigerian roots, resonating with listeners in the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, and Nigeria, which make up the top five countries streaming the song.
As one of Wizkid’s most defining works, “Ojuelegba” solidified his place as a leading figure in African music.
It not only became a cultural anthem but also contributed to the growing global recognition of Afrobeats.

This milestone reinforces the power of African music and its ability to influence global trends.
The anniversary of “Ojuelegba” serves as a reminder of the immense talent within the African music scene and the continued global expansion of Afrobeats.
As the genre keeps evolving, Wizkid’s legacy remains firmly entrenched, with “Ojuelegba” standing as a timeless testament to his artistry and the global reach of African sounds.
Popular Nigerian singer, Burna Boy, shares that he will not be starting a family anytime soon due to his busy schedule for his music tour.
It can be recalled that on the singer’s birthday this year, he expressed his desire to have kids and start a family.
However, he recently shared that his desire might have to be put on hold:
“Yeah, but I don’t want to start that on the road. I’m not planning on quitting tours anytime soon, so I don’t know where to now put that [starting a family]; find a middle ground.”
Nigerian relationship coach, Blessing CEO, shares her thoughts on why some men dislike the fact that their women are more successful and see it as a threat to their marriage.
During a recent interview, the relationship coach spoke on the general issue of how some men react to their women being more successful. She shared that they mostly fear the masculinity that comes with it.
“No man is intimidated by your success. They are only afraid of the masculinity that comes with success. Because when a woman starts to make money on her own, she automatically becomes a man. Once you can provide, you automatically become a man. You will see yourself subconsciously dragging might. Because at the end of the day, what makes a man powerful is the ability to provide. That is what gives him that mantle.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, confirms his uncle, Governor Adeleke’s, move from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The singer confirms this move in his latest song, which he titled “From Umbrella to Broom.” It can be noted that the umbrella signifies the PDP, while the broom signifies the APC in their respective logos.
The singer then speaks on this fact and shares that his uncle will still continue doing great things from this political party. It can also be noted that the singer, as well as Governor Adeleke, took a visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In Davido’s song, the singer sang in Yoruba, which means, “Why are we suffering when the new broom can sweep better?” He also sang about the fact that the youths of today plan to go overseas and not stay in Nigeria.
