Ckay just hit a massive streaming milestone as the first Nigerian artist to crack one billion plays on Spotify with a solo track. His 2019 song Love Nwantiti finally crossed the threshold, and he became the first solo male African artist to pull off this kind of number on the platform.
The singer celebrated online by thanking everyone who helped make it happen. Wizkid technically reached a billion streams first through his Drake collab back in 2017, but that was a feature situation. Rema holds the distinction of being the first African lead artist to break a billion with his Selena Gomez remix of Calm Down, while South African singer Tyla became the first African woman in the billion-stream club with her viral hit.
