The Lungu Boy track becomes the 89th Nigerian song to cross the nine-figure streaming mark on Spotify.
Asake and Wizkid’s “MMS” has crossed 100 million Spotify streams, becoming the 89th Nigerian song to reach that milestone on the platform.
Asake and Wizkid’s “MMS” crossed 100 million streams on Spotify on Saturday, June 21, 2026, becoming the 89th Nigerian song to reach that threshold on the platform. Ten months of sustained listener appetite built that number, not a chart sprint that burned out before Christmas.
But the song announced itself early. On its first full day of tracking, “MMS” pulled 870,000 Spotify streams, breaking the Nigerian single-day record Wizkid had previously set with “IDK” featuring Zlatan. Within the midnight-to-1 a.m. West Africa Time window alone, the track logged more than 100,000 plays.
The record, produced by P.Priime and released under YBNL Nation and EMPIRE, sits as the highest-streaming song on Asake’s Lungu Boy album, which dropped on August 8, 2024. And it arrived with institutional weight: a Grammy nomination followed, placing “MMS” in the Best African Music Performance category at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards.
On X, fans documented the Spotify crossing in real time. “Asake and Wizkid’s ‘MMS’ has now surpassed 100 MILLION streams on Spotify. Smash hit,” wrote user @Asarailu_. Music analyst @djyoungjozzy framed the figure further, calling it Asake’s eighth and Wizkid’s seventeenth song past the 100-million mark on the platform.
Seventeen songs past 100 million puts Wizkid in a category very few African artists globally occupy. Yet Asake’s eight tracks tell their own story: that kind of consistency, across only four years of mainstream exposure, is not accidental and does not arrive without relentless touring and session work.
With “MMS,” Asake joins Burna Boy, Davido, Tems, and Omah Lay as the only Nigerian artists carrying at least one song past 100 million streams across three separate projects. His debut, Mr. Money With The Vibe; his second album, Work of Art; and now Lungu Boy each hold a qualifying track.
Lungu Boy itself became his third consecutive number-one album in Nigeria and the longest-running chart-topper in Nigerian chart history. On the Official Nigeria Top 100 in August 2024, “MMS” debuted at number one with 7.01 million on-demand streams and 44.6 million radio airplay impressions, extending Asake’s record to 12 chart-toppers and handing Wizkid his second.
On Audiomack, “MMS” has accumulated more than 106 million total plays, which means Spotify’s nine-figure figure captures only part of the song’s actual digital weight. The black-and-white music video, filmed on London streets and released on October 8, 2024, kept the track alive inside algorithmic playlists well into 2025.
On December 5, 2025, during an Apple Music Radio takeover, Asake and Wizkid announced a collaborative EP titled Real, Vol. 1. The project released January 22, 2026, with singles including “Jogodo” charting across multiple platforms and topping charts in several countries, feeding renewed traffic back toward “MMS.”
Neither camp has issued a formal statement on the Spotify milestone. The song blends Asake’s street-forward Afrobeats energy with Wizkid’s loose, unhurried delivery, a contrast music observers say pulls listeners from demographics that rarely share a playlist. “MMS” is now one of the defining Afrobeats collaborations of 2024.
Driven by strong replay value, consistent playlist support, and sustained listener engagement, “MMS” has grown into one of the most cited collaborations in contemporary Afrobeats over the roughly 22 months since its release.
The milestone reinforces Asake’s rapid rise and sustained streaming dominance, with his catalog continuing to generate massive global numbers across multiple eras of his work. As of Tuesday, June 23, 2026, Asake and Wizkid’s “MMS” stands as the 89th Nigerian song to cross 100 million Spotify streams, a figure that places both artists firmly at the center of Afrobeats’ most commercially active generation.
