Wizkid’s Morayo Breaks Streaming Records and Tops Charts in Few Hours of Release
Wizkid’s latest album, Morayo, has made an explosive impact on the music scene, topping the Apple Music charts with all its tracks occupying the top 17 spots just hours after its release.
This incredible achievement came within 10 hours of the album’s official drop on November 22, 2024.
Dedicated to his late mother, Juliana Morayo Balogun, who passed away in August 2023, Morayo has resonated deeply with fans worldwide.
The emotional tribute to his mother has not only captured the hearts of listeners but also shattered several streaming records.
One of the album’s tracks set a new milestone in Nigeria by gaining an impressive 1.57 million streams on Spotify within its opening day, marking one of the biggest single-day streaming numbers for any Nigerian artist.
Additionally, the album’s lead single, Piece of My Heart, has made a significant mark, climbing to No. 4 on the U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart and No. 7 on the World Digital Song Sales chart, further proving Wizkid’s global reach.
Nigerian singer BNXN has made a claim online that has generated mixed reactions. The singer stated that living in Lagos is more expensive than living in Los Angeles, drawing from his personal experience in the United States.
Speaking about life abroad, BNXN explained that there are fewer financial obligations and requests for money compared to Nigeria, where people are often expected to support relatives and acquaintances.
“I was telling someone, since I got to the United States, I haven’t seen one egbon adugbo asking me to press money. Lagos is too expensive abeg. Lagos is more expensive than LA (Los Angeles),” BNXN stated.
It can be recalled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed charges against Blessing CEO over an alleged ₦13 million fraud case.
The case is reportedly linked to claims that the influencer obtained ₦13 million through an alleged cancer-related fundraising scheme.
It can also be recalled that Blessing CEO previously claimed she was battling Stage 4 breast cancer, a revelation that drew sympathy from many people and reportedly led to financial support from members of the public.
While investigations are still ongoing, the influencer remains innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James celebrated her 31st birthday and shared pictures on social media with her daughter.
The influencer spoke about how her life has changed and described motherhood as the greatest gift she has received.
“A year older, but the greatest gift isn’t the age… It’s the title I earned this year: MOTHER! This birthday hits differently because my heart now beats outside my body.”
“Before this year, birthdays were about me. Now, they’re a reminder of the little soul who made me a mom and changed my life forever.”
