This accomplishment solidifies her position as one of the leading figures in Nigeria’s global music scene.

Ayra Starr, who first gained attention with her debut EP in 2019, joins the ranks of Nigerian artists such as Wizkid, Burna Boy, Rema, CKay, Tems, and Davido in reaching this streaming landmark. Her second album, The Year I Turned 21, released earlier this year, has already accumulated over 500 million streams, contributing to this achievement.
