    In a report by BellaNaija, Nathaniel Bassey has started the year with a fresh worship release titled “The Glory of His Presence.”

    Early listener reactions frame it as a “January devotion soundtrack,” with fans sharing snippets and favorite moments online.

    The drop reinforces how Nigerian gospel continues to command huge digital attention—often driven by community sharing rather than mainstream promo.

    • Nathaniel Bassey (Facebook (verified/official page)): “GLORY OF HIS PRESENCE… coming in January 2026.”
    • Apple Music (Platform listing): “Released 2 January 2026.”

    Echotitbits take: Gospel releases launched early in the year can become long‑tail staples for churches and personal devotion for months. Watch next for live‑ministry clips, choir-led performances, and worship sessions—those formats usually sustain gospel streaming long after the initial release buzz fades.

    Afrobeats superstar Ayodeji “Wizkid” Balogun has once again sent fans into wedding speculation mode after revealing the exact song he wants at his big day – and the artiste he wants performing it live. During a recent Apple Music radio appearance with Asake and DJ Tunez, Wizkid said he wants Asake to perform “Remember” at his wedding.

    Wizkid explained that Asake’s breakout track “Omo Ope” turned him into a fan from first listen, but it is the more reflective “Remember” that stole his heart and earned a permanent place on his imaginary wedding playlist. The Starboy boss called the song “an amazing record” and told Asake directly on air that it has to be played on his wedding day.

    Big Wiz did not stop at song choices. He went on to shower Asake with heavy compliments, describing him as one of the most special vocalists in Africa and even the world. According to him, Asake’s voice is a blessing to African music and proof that the new wave of Afrobeats talent is here to stay.

    This is not the first time Wizkid has teased an upcoming wedding, and social media users again joked that Starboy has been “planning” this wedding for years. Still, his comments have added fresh fuel to fan fantasies about a high-profile Starboy ceremony – with Asake on the mic and “Remember” as the soundtrack.

    Starboy continues to shine: Wizkid has been named Apple Music Nigeria’s Artist of the Year for 2025, topping the platform’s end-of-year rankings.

    According to Apple Music’s recap, Wizkid not only clinched the top artist spot but also secured Top Album of 2025: Nigeria with his project Morayo. The double win reinforces his status as one of Afrobeats’ most consistent global forces, still pulling massive streams years into his career.

    Wizkid FC wasted no time celebrating the achievement on X and Instagram, sharing streaming screenshots, edited graphics and throwback clips from the album’s rollout. Some fans used the moment to reignite debates about who owns the Afrobeats “GOAT” crown, while others simply congratulated Starboy for another landmark year.
