The achievement was highlighted on Tuesday by music analytics platform ChartsAfrica, which noted that the singer has consistently led major streaming milestones for African acts on the platform.
According to the update, Wizkid remains the first African artiste to hit the 1 billion, 2 billion, 10 billion, and now 11 billion total streams marks on Spotify, reinforcing his influence in the global music space.

This latest accomplishment adds to a growing list of records for the singer, who earlier in 2026 became the first African artist to reach 10 billion streams on Spotify.
Widely regarded as one of the leading figures in the international rise of Afrobeats, Wizkid’s new milestone further cements his status as a global music powerhouse.
