The global rise of Afrobeats has received another boost as Nigerian stars Asake and Wizkid celebrate a major streaming milestone with their collaborative hit “MMS” surpassing 100 million streams on Spotify.
The achievement was highlighted in a post shared on X on Sunday by music tracking platform #TheDebutHub, confirming that the track has now joined an elite list of Nigerian records with nine-figure streaming success.
According to the update, “Asake and Wizkid’s ‘MMS’ has now surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify,” marking a significant personal milestone for both artists. The report further noted that it is Asake’s eighth and Wizkid’s 17th song to reach the benchmark across all credits on the platform.
A Standout Collaboration in Afrobeats’ Global Push
The Grammy-nominated song has been widely described as a seamless blend of Asake’s energetic, Yoruba-infused delivery and Wizkid’s laid-back melodic style—two distinct sounds that have helped define modern Afrobeats’ international appeal.
Released as part of Asake’s Lungu Boy album on August 8, 2024, MMS has grown into the project’s most streamed track, reinforcing its position as a fan favourite and a global streaming heavyweight.
The track’s critical recognition also extended to awards season, earning a nomination in the Best African Music Performance category at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, further cementing its cross-border resonance.
