Ayra Starr and Wizkid’s “Gimme Dat” Dominates Spotify Nigeria with Explosive Debut
Ayra Starr and Wizkid have ignited the Afrobeats scene once again with their sizzling new single, “Gimme Dat,” which clocked an impressive 2.4 million streams on Spotify Nigeria within its first week.
From the moment it dropped, the track surged to the top, electrifying listeners and setting off a social media storm. In just 12 hours, it amassed over 1 million streams—an early sign of its runaway success and the power this duo holds when they collaborate.
This isn’t their first hit together. Fans still remember the impact of their 2022 anthem “2 Sugar,” and “Gimme Dat” continues that legacy with a rich blend of old-school R&B and modern Afrobeats.
Produced by VybeO and Mikabeatz, the track cleverly nods to Wyclef Jean and Mary J. Blige’s iconic 2000 hit “911,” delivering a fresh yet nostalgic sound.
Ayra Starr’s silky, emotive vocals glide seamlessly alongside Wizkid’s relaxed, charismatic style, crafting a love-drenched tune that’s as infectious as it is soulful.
