    Rihanna’s Barbados groove sparks fresh global buzz for Shallipopi’s “Laho”

    2026-01-02 09:00:00

    According to Pulse Nigeria, a short clip circulating online appears to show Rihanna vibing along to Shallipopi’s “Laho,” and fans are treating it like an unexpected Afrobeats co‑sign.

    The video has kicked off celebratory reactions across Nigerian social media, with listeners saying moments like this can accelerate global discovery.

    As the clip spreads, attention is shifting from “did you see it?” to “will the momentum translate into streams, Shazams, and playlist adds?”

    • HypeTribeNG (Instagram): “Rihanna vibing hard to shallipopi’s ‘Laho’ in Barbados.”
    • Officially Urban (Instagram): “Rihanna Vibing hard to Shallipopi’s ‘Laho’ in Barbados.”

    Echotitbits take: A casual celebrity moment can move faster than a label rollout—especially when it’s a global star connecting with a Nigerian sound in real time. If the clip keeps circulating, the smart play is for the camp to ride it with performance snippets, remix chatter, or a visual push that converts virality into sustained listening.

  • Burna Boy reportedly tops Spotify’s African streaming leaderboard for 2025

    Burna Boy reportedly tops Spotify’s African streaming leaderboard for 2025

    2026-01-02 09:00:00

    Figures reported by Pulse Nigeria suggest Burna Boy ended 2025 as the most‑streamed African artist on Spotify, with totals shared widely across entertainment pages.

    The milestone is being framed online as another proof‑point of Burna’s global pull, especially in markets where playlists drive discovery.

    As the numbers circulate, the fan debate is shifting toward context—regional splits, catalog impact, and how “streams” compare with touring power.

    • GossipMillTV (Instagram): “Burna Boy has become the most streamed African artiste in 2025.”
    • Unorthodox Reviews (Threads): “recording 1.986 BILLION streams.”

    Echotitbits take: End‑of‑year streaming stats increasingly influence bookings, sponsorship interest, and international festival positioning. The next thing to watch is whether platform recaps and third‑party trackers publish clearer regional breakdowns—because that’s where the biggest arguments (and bragging rights) live.
