CKay has made history as the first Nigerian artist to achieve this remarkable milestone on the popular streaming platform, Spotify.

CKay has reached a historic milestone as his global hit “Love Nwantiti” officially surpasses 1 billion streams on Spotify, making him the first Nigerian artist to achieve this feat with a solo song on the platform.

In 2019, “Love Nwantiti” gained momentum and eventually became one of the most widely shared Afrobeats tracks globally.

CKay’s song became a dominant force on TikTok, sparked numerous remixes, and reached the top of charts across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and the Middle East, cementing his status as one of the most streamed African artists of all time.

CKay has now joined an elite group of global stars whose songs have reached the billion-stream milestone, marking a significant moment not only for his career but also for the global growth of Afrobeats. Nigeria’s growing influence on the international music scene is reflected in the milestone, as more African songs continue to break long-standing streaming and chart records.

“Love Nwantiti” has solidified its position as one of the biggest Afrobeats songs ever released, further propelling CKay’s status as a prominent figure in globalising Nigerian music.
