The latest feat adds to Burna Boy’s impressive run on global streaming platforms. It comes shortly after the “African Giant” crooner became the African artist with the highest monthly listeners on Spotify, peaking at 46.84 million monthly listeners to surpass South African star Tyla’s previous record of 46.58 million.

The Spotify milestone has been driven largely by the global success of “Dai Dai,” Burna Boy’s collaboration with Colombian music icon Shakira.

The song, selected as the official anthem of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, gained worldwide traction following its opening ceremony performance, boosting the singer’s global audience and reinforcing his position as one of Africa’s biggest streaming stars.
