As 2025 winds down, the Starboy camp is closing the year like a team that refuses to take its foot off the accelerator.

Wizkid has already been sweeping up year-end streaming awards across Spotify, Apple Music, and Turntable’s radio charts. But on Tuesday, his right-hand sound architect delivered one of the label’s biggest wins yet: DJ Tunez has officially been crowned Nigeria’s most-streamed DJ on Spotify in 2025.

The recognition, pulled from newly shared data, is more than a personal triumph. It’s another reminder of the Starboy machine’s grip on the continental music scene, an empire that seems to glide at a height few can match.

The numbers appeared via Africa Facts Zone on X, igniting a mini frenzy on social media. The post highlighted Spotify’s top DJs by monthly listeners, a modern metric that neatly reflects influence, reach, and cultural relevance.

As expected, South Africa’s amapiano giants filled the upper ranks, maintaining their status as Africa’s most exported sonic powerhouses.

Still, Nigeria made its presence felt in the elite tier. Both DJ Tunez and DJ Spinall earned spots on the list, further validating the country’s expanding footprint in the global DJ ecosystem.

Top African DJs on Spotify (Monthly Listeners, as of December 9, 2025)

1. DJ Maphorisa (South Africa) – 5.3M
2. Master KG (South Africa) – 3.8M
3. DJ Tunez (Nigeria) – 3.55M
4. Kabza De Small (South Africa) – 3.4M
5. DJ Yo! (Mauritania) – 3.34M
6. Jazzwrld (South Africa) – 3.29M
7. Shimza (South Africa) – 2.8M
8. Black Coffee (South Africa) – 2.75M
9. Nitefreak (Zimbabwe) – 2.24M
10. XDuppy (South Africa) – 2.238M
11. Tyler ICU (South Africa) – 2.18M
12. Kelvin Momo (South Africa) – 1.93M
13. DJ Spinall (Nigeria) – 1.89M
14. Major League DJz (South Africa) – 1.7M
15. Uncle Waffles (Eswatini) – 1.5M

Despite South Africa’s ironclad hold on the global dance scene, this was undeniably DJ Tunez’s moment. He stands as the only Nigerian DJ in the top ten and Africa’s second most-streamed DJ overall, firmly stamping his status as the country’s undisputed number one.

And Tunez responded in pure Starboy fashion. Without a single word, he quote-tweeted the ranking with the iconic Michael Jordan “I’m Back” GIF—a subtle flex that sparked another wave of memes, shout-outs, and jubilation across the timeline.

For Starboy fans, it was déjà vu: another day, another win.

South African Amapiano sensation Major League DJz remains steadfast in their belief that the Rugby World Champions, the Springboks, should have been afforded a private flight home rather than traveling on a public one.

Expressing their disappointment in the team’s mode of transportation, the duo conveyed their conviction that such accomplishments warranted more exclusive treatment. Their tweet read, “Not even a private flight for our South African world rugby champions… flying public’s with everyone… hayi khona..”

The statement drew mixed reactions from social media users, with some taking issue with the artists’ stance.

Addressing the controversy, Major League DJz took to Twitter once more, offering a rationale for their position. They stated, “Our tax money, what? They deserve it and more right now. They have won two world cups back to back. They are carrying our flag higher than anyone right now. There’s nothing wrong with spoiling the guys. Make it worth it. They come home with a cup. Well deserved.”

“Our Tax money what?? They deserve it and more right now.. Won two world cups back 2 back.. they are carrying our flag higher than anyone right now. Nothing wrong with spoiling the gents. Make it worth they while.. they coming home with a cup.. Well deserved,” they wrote.
