Nigerian singer and songwriter Fireboy DML has officially crossed 2 billion streams on Spotify across all credits, marking a major milestone in his steadily rising global career.
With this achievement, Fireboy becomes the 10th Nigerian artist to join the prestigious 2-billion-streams club on Spotify, a clear reflection of his growing international appeal and the staying power of his music. He now stands alongside fellow Nigerian heavyweights like Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido, Rema, Tems, and Ayra Starr, all of whom have reached the benchmark.
Since bursting onto the scene with his critically acclaimed debut album Laughter, Tears & Goosebumps, Fireboy has consistently delivered hits like Jealous, Vibration, Peru, and Bandana with Asake. His seamless fusion of Afrobeat, R&B, and pop has not only resonated with fans across Africa but also earned him a global audience.
The success of Peru, particularly the remix with Ed Sheeran, played a key role in pushing his streaming numbers to new heights, becoming a viral hit and securing Fireboy’s place on the global Afrobeats map.
Crossing 2 billion streams is no small feat, and it underscores Fireboy DML’s evolution from a breakout star to a certified hitmaker with a loyal global fanbase.
As Afrobeats continues to dominate the global music scene, Fireboy DML’s milestone is both a personal triumph and another win for Nigerian music.
