Nigerian Afropop sensation Ayra Starr has officially surpassed 3 billion streams across all credits on Spotify, propelling her into the club of Nigerian artists who have achieved this milestone.

Here are the other Nigerians who’ve cleared the 3 billion mark:

I. Ayodeji Balogun (Wizkid) 

Wizkid currently leads the list as the most-streamed African artist on Spotify, with over 9 billion streams across all credits. He became the first African to cross the 9 billion threshold, solidifying his position at the top of the Afrobeats streaming charts. 

2. Damini Ogulu (Burna Boy) 
Burna Boy has amassed 8.5 billion+ total streams on Spotify. His deep catalogue of hits, ranging from African Giant to Love, Damini has driven sustained global listening.

3. Divine Ikubor (Rema) 
Rema’s Rave & Roses and his prolific features helped push him past 3 billion streams, making him one of the fastest rising stars to reach that milestone. His success has been closely tied to the global hit “Calm Down.” 

4.Temilade Openiyi (Tems) 
Tems has also joined the 3 billion+ club. While her solo output is leaner, her features and global collaborations helped her cross the threshold. She is the first female Nigerian artist to reach this milestone. 

5. David Adeleke (Davido) 
Davido has long been a streaming powerhouse. He is commonly cited among the group of Nigerians with at least 3 billion across platforms, with Spotify making up a significant chunk. 

Ayra Starr’s inclusion in this list is remarkable, especially given her youth and the relatively shorter span of her career compared to her peers.
