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.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
