Nigerian music sensation Ayodeji Balogun, widely known as Wizkid, has once again solidified his position as a global music icon by setting new Spotify streaming records with his latest single, Kese (Dance).

The song, a vibrant Afrobeat anthem, has achieved an unprecedented milestone by becoming the most-streamed track on Spotify Nigeria in its opening day. Kese amassed 1.57 million streams within 24 hours, surpassing Wizkid’s own previous record of 1.016 million streams set by Piece of My Heart, a collaboration with American R&B star Brent Faiyaz.

On a global scale, Kese has further made waves, breaking the record for the biggest opening day streams for an African song on Spotify worldwide. The track garnered an impressive 2.753 million streams, demonstrating Wizkid’s far-reaching influence beyond the continent.

Kese is one of the lead singles from Wizkid’s highly anticipated album, Morayo, which is set to be released later this month. The project is particularly significant for the artist, as he has dedicated it to his late mother, Mrs. Morayo Jane Balogun, who passed away earlier this year.

This latest achievement adds to Wizkid’s growing legacy as one of the most successful African artists in history. Known for his ability to seamlessly blend Afrobeat with global sounds, Wizkid continues to push boundaries and set new standards for African music on the international stage.
