Just weeks after reaching a major streaming milestone, Wizkid’s ‘Made In Lagos: Deluxe Edition‘ has crossed an impressive 900 million streams on Spotify, edging closer to the highly anticipated milestone of one billion streams.

This new achievement cements ‘Made In Lagos: Deluxe Edition‘ as Wizkid’s most-streamed album to date and his first project to approach this level of global listenership on the platform.

Released in October 2020 during the global challenges of the pandemic, ‘Made In Lagos‘ became an instant classic, spotlighting Wizkid’s artistry and versatility within Afrobeats.

The album’s original version featured fourteen tracks, collaborating with high-profile artists like Burna Boy, Skepta, Damian Marley, H.E.R., Ella Mai, Tay Iwar, Projexx, Tems, and Terri.

Its tracks weave Afrobeats, reggae, R&B, and soul, creating a soundscape that resonated globally and reinforced Wizkid’s influence across musical genres.

Wizkid’s Made In Lagos (Deluxe) serves as an extended short film for three of his new songs: “Anoti,” “Mood,” which features Buju, another Nigerian artist, and “Steady.”

Vibrant neons and pastels, ethereal woodlands, sandy plains, and modelesque women populate its realms.

While there is a hazy plot in which Wizkid chases a lovely stranger, this is primarily an artistic endeavour.

Single Wizkid was out and about with a friend, checking out the gorgeous region, seeing many nice things and beautiful people, including a Damsel in Distress, whom he waved at and passed by.

Anoti changes into Mood, When Wizkid arrived in another realm, he freshened himself and was surprised to see the same lovely female there.

He knew he’d found love and didn’t waste time confessing it; instead, he came up, fell in love, and transported them to another dimension.
