Nigerian music star Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has set a new record for the highest number of monthly listeners by an African artist in Spotify history.
The African Giant singer recently reached 46.84 million monthly listeners on the streaming platform, surpassing the previous record of 46.58 million held by South African artiste Tyla.
Burna Boy has since increased his monthly audience to 47.3 million listeners on Spotify, putting him on course to become the first African artist to surpass the 50 million mark.
The surge in streams is primarily led by his World Cup song with Shakira, ‘Dai Dai.’
The song recently peaked at number one on Spotify Global Top Songs chart, making Burna Boy the first African artist to top the chart since Wizkid debuted on it through his collaboration with Drake on ‘One Dance’ in 2016.
