    Nigerian singer-songwriter Chukwuka Ekweani, better known as Ckay, has made history with “CKay the First” by setting a new African Spotify record.

    The second extended playlist by multi-platinum-selling musician CKay, titled “CKay the First,” has amassed the most number of streams of any African performer in Spotify history.

    The project, which debuted on August 30, 2019, has had more than 661 million Spotify streams, topping Burna Boy’s “African Giant,” which had 660.9 million.

    The bodywork was self-produced by CKay, with additional production from Tempoe, Real Btee, and featured guest appearances from DJ Lambo, BOJ, Blaqbonez, and Barry Jhay.

    The multi-award-winning Nigerian singer has achieved several global chart-topping singles and has been breaking records. It is noteworthy that CKay became the first African artist to exceed one billion Spotify streams.
