Wizkid Breaks Record As “kese” Released 24 Hours Ago Surpasses 1.5 Million Streams On Spotify

Afrobeats superstar Wizkid has set a new milestone with his latest single, Kese, which amassed over 1.5 million streams on Spotify within 24 hours of its release. This remarkable feat shatters the previous record held by Davido’s Awuke.

Kese, a standout track from Wizkid’s recently released album Morayo, continues the momentum set by his earlier single Piece of My Heart, a collaboration with American artist Brent Faiyaz. The latter also achieved a remarkable milestone, surpassing one million Spotify streams on its debut day.
