CKay has made music history again. His global hit “Love Nwantiti (ah ah ah)” has officially crossed 1 billion streams on Spotify, making it the first solo Nigerian song to ever reach this milestone.
Released in 2019, the record started as a mellow Afrobeats love song but quickly transformed into a worldwide cultural moment. It became one of the most viral tracks on TikTok, dominated international charts, and introduced millions of new listeners to the softer, melodic side of Nigerian music.
Over the years, the song has inspired countless remixes, covers and global collaborations. It also positioned CKay as one of Nigeria’s most streamed artists and helped push Afrobeats deeper into mainstream music conversations.
Achieving one billion Spotify streams places “Love Nwantiti” in the same league as global mega hits across genres. For CKay, it is another reminder of how far a simple, heartfelt song from Lagos can travel when the world falls in love with it.
This milestone marks a major moment not just for CKay, but for Nigerian music as a whole.
