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 musician Master KG recently addressed allegations surrounding his remix of “Keneilwe” by the original Dalom Kids, asserting that he and Nkosazana’s Daughter collaborated on the track and released it last year. Despite garnering significant streams and securing top positions on music charts, Sunday World reported on how the new Dalom Kids have seemingly overshadowed the original group, exacerbating their financial struggles.

A Twitter user criticized Master KG for not obtaining permission before remixing the song, prompting the DJ to denounce the individual as a mere seeker of attention. He refuted the allegations, emphasizing his understanding of the music industry and dismissing the headline as misleading. “This is wrong,” he stated, highlighting the necessity to comprehend the full context before forming opinions merely for social media validation.

In a follow-up tweet, Master KG continued to defend his actions, condemning reckless behaviour and emphasizing his extensive experience in the music industry.

“O bolela masepa and for likes read the story to understand not for likes, been in the music for sometime for me to do things recklessly,” he added.

After seeing Master KG’s dance moves in a video, a commenter on the internet advised him, “Wena you’re still young, you should try to dance better”.

After posting a rare video of himself dancing on his Instagram page on Tuesday, May 30, South African music producer Kgaogelo Moagi, better known by his stage name Master KG, received a barrage of hate comments from his followers.

Master KG is now busy promoting Mangihlale with Casswell P, featuring Lwami, his most recent song. On his YouTube website, the song, which was uploaded around a month ago, has nearly 800K views so far.

The musician, who is now 27 years old, became well-known after releasing Jerusalema under Open Mic Production three years ago. With more than 561 million views on YouTube, the song became popular. Meanwhile, the Jerusalema dance challenge was being performed by people all around the world on TikTok and other social media sites.

Since then, he has released hit after hit, including songs like Ngiyamthanda and Dali Nguwe.

Who would have thought a well-known DJ and music producer who had such an impact on the music scene in South Africa would be left-handed? At least that’s what some online remarked when they saw his dance routines in his most recent Instagram video with the caption, “Master KG with them Tik Tok moves”.

Meanwhile, Master KG’s love to live a tranquil life without cameras while he is not working. His love life, though, frequently makes news. After breaking up with his ex-girlfriend Makhadzi—real name Ndivhudzannyi Ralivhona—he was connected to reality TV personality and social media sensation Eva Modika, according to Newsmen said that he was also suspected of having a child with club promoter Queen Lolly.

After stolen WhatsApp conversations circulated on social media, Master KG took to Instagram to address the rumours surrounding the Eva Modika affair. He is unquestionably setting trends after it was suggested that he was dating reality personality Ever Modika.

Master KG responds to the Eva Modika affair claims that surfaced after their leaked WhatsApp conversations went viral.

After screenshots of the reality star’s WhatsApp status flooded the internet, the purported myth spread on social media.

The discussions seemed to indicate that Master KG had taken care of her financial requirements. It’s safe to say that Master KG has grabbed headlines before for the wrong reasons.

Mzansi immediately came to the conclusion that KG purportedly had an affair with Eva Modika in the wake of the widely circulated talks.

In response to the outrageous claims, Master KG has denied having a romantic relationship with the reality personality.

Taking to Instagram, the celebrated singer debunked the allegations and even challenged Inno Morolong in person after she admitted to being behind the outrageous reports.

Eva Modika, the star of “Diamond and Dolls,” has denied rumours that she is dating Master KG.

“I and Master KG are good friends, we not dating or doing anything, and he did not buy me a TV,” she said.

Several months ago, when contentious Queen Lolly admitted to having an affair with the Jerusamela hitmaker, she was linked to sour affair speculations.

Rumour has it that the DJ even damned claims to be the father of a child by Queen Lolly. Master KG has undoubtedly made news for the wrong reasons due to his love life.

Master KG and Makhadzi have experienced plenty of drama, including claimed fallout and cheating claims.

If the two are still dating or not, little is known. However, the two have frequently denied rumours, which has hurt their relationship.

Resurfaced rumours that hit music producer Master KG fathered a kid with musician Queen Lolly, real name Nomfundo Shezi, have been refuted by Master KG.

Queen Lolly recently made the news after shockingly claiming on a podcast that she had slept with polygamist Musa Mseleku,

She made an additional attempt to support her claim by playing audio from a tape that purported to show her and Mseleku having sex.

The fact that Queen Lolly’s claim from 2020 has reappeared angered Master KG, especially because his name has been trending on social media this week.

Master KG didn’t want to be affiliated with any of it because Queen Lolly‘s contentious podcast, which is currently trending, makes various baffling claims, including that she was a “side girl” to the late Kiernan “AKA” Forbes.

The hitmaker saw a tweet in which it was asserted that Queen Lolly was the father of his child, an assertion she had made to Sunday World in 2020.

She said that the Jerusalema producer had asked her to terminate certain pregnancies. She also claimed that she had carried a pregnancy into 2020 and that Master KG was the biological father.

Master KG has addressed a few of the allegations almost three years after the claims.

“This is not my baby mama. [I] don’t have a child with this person mxm people say whatever for anything that will make them get headlines.”

Musa Mseleku has threatened to sue Queen Lolly after she claimed she had several affairs with his son Mpumi Mseleku.

Although she eventually made it clear that she was talking to Mpumi, it was initially considered that she was speaking about Musa. She posted photos of herself and Mpumi in bed to support her accusations, but she eventually deleted them.

The lawyer’s letters were submitted to Queen Lolly, but she is refusing to budge. In a video, she sarcastically asserts that Musa must approach his son for clarification and calls the patriarch her “father-in-law.”

Master KG’s shocking announcement that he and Makhadzi had broken up shocked the public just as they were coming to terms with Makhadzi’s social media accounts being hacked.

“It is sad to say this but me and my queen makhazi we no longer in a relationship but we continue working together to entertain our lovely fans going forward. thank you,” he wrote on Facebook.
