  • Wizkid and Asake Shatter Spotify Nigeria Records with New Collaboration

    Wizkid and Asake Shatter Spotify Nigeria Records with New Collaboration

    According to Revolt TV, Afrobeats heavyweights Wizkid and Asake have set a new benchmark for domestic streaming with their latest track, “Jogodo.” The song surged up the charts, surpassing previous 24-hour stream records on Spotify Nigeria, as Wizkid also became the first African artist to hit 10 billion streams on the platform.

    The collaboration merges Wizkid’s global appeal with Asake’s “Neo-Fuji” momentum, and fans have dubbed the track an instant classic. The track reportedly broke the all-time record for the biggest single-day streaming total for a collaboration in Nigeria and quickly dominated playlists across the continent.

    On X, @chartdata highlighted the record, reporting 1.388 million single-day streams on Spotify Nigeria. Wizkid also teased the upcoming joint EP, *REAL, Vol. 1*, via his official Instagram.

    Echotitbits take: This record isn’t just about numbers; it signals the “Big 3” era evolving into a broader “Big 5,” where strategic collaborations dictate market dominance. Wizkid hitting 10 billion streams while breaking local records with Asake shows he’s playing the long game of global and local relevance. Watch for “Jogodo” to test the Billboard Global 200 conversation quickly.

  • Wizkid and Asake Drop Joint EP “REAL” to Massive Streaming Numbers

    Wizkid and Asake Drop Joint EP “REAL” to Massive Streaming Numbers

    Soundcity reports that Afrobeats stars Wizkid and Asake have unexpectedly released a collaborative EP titled *REAL*. The project—anchored by the single “Jogodo”—is already generating heavy activity across Spotify and Apple Music Nigeria, with early indications of record‑level daily streaming performance.

    The release has also dominated social traffic, with Daily Post and Vanguard amplifying the wider fan frenzy and the rapid search interest around the lyrics.

    **Echotitbits take:** Wizkid is pivoting. By teaming up with Asake—the king of the “Neo‑Fuji” sound—he is keeping relevance locked in with the younger street‑pop demographic. It is a strategic move that also counters claims his recent sound has grown too mellow for Lagos’ club circuit.
