This comes after the song which features another Nigerian singer, Tems, cracked the Billboard Bubbling Under Charts for the first time. This marks a remarkable achievement for Wizkid and Tems, who are signed to the same label and for African music as a whole. However, this isn’t Wizkid’s first time on the Hot 100 chart.
