Nigerian rap sensation and YBNL record label boss, Olamide, has achieved an extraordinary milestone, surpassing 1 billion career streams on Spotify. This remarkable feat cements his status as a trailblazer in the global music industry.
The achievement makes Olamide the first African rapper to reach this streaming landmark, a testament to his innovative blend of Afrobeats with rap and his strategic collaborations.
The iconic rapper’s influence extended to global recognition last year when he became the first African rapper to earn a Grammy nomination. His chart-topping collaboration with Asake, “Amapiano,” was nominated in the Best African Music Performance category at the 2024 Grammy Awards. However, the award went to South African artist Tyla for her viral hit, “Water.”
Olamide’s journey continues to inspire as he solidifies his legacy as one of Africa’s foremost musical pioneers. Fans and industry insiders alike eagerly await his next move.
