Asake has moved up to four projects with over 500 million streams on Spotify, tying Burna Boy for the most among Nigerian artists.
The latest milestone further highlights the rapid growth and staying power of Asake’s catalogue, as the YBNL star continues to rank among Nigeria’s biggest streaming acts globally.
Asake was already part of the exclusive group of Nigerian artists with projects above the 500 million stream mark. His latest achievement, however, moves him up the ranking and puts him level with Burna Boy at the top.
