Asisat Oshoala Celebrated By FIFA On 29th Birthday | Fab.ng

FIFA has sent its best wishes for a happy 29th birthday to Asisat Oshoala, the well-known Super Falcons player. Referred to as “Agba Baller”. Asisat is a well-known personality in women’s football who has won multiple awards over her career. Born October 9, 1994, in Ikorodu, Lagos, Asisat Oshoala is a native of that area. She has become widely recognized in Nigeria and throughout the world because of her remarkable football career and accomplishments.

Her outstanding performance at the 2023 Women’s World Cup is one of her career’s major turning points. Oshoala created history during this competition by being the first player from Nigeria to score in three separate FIFA Women’s World Cups. She achieved this milestone by scoring a goal against Australia after entering the game off the bench. She has previously scored one goal in each of the editions between 2015 and 2019.

Asisat Oshoala‘s accomplishments extend beyond the playing field. She has also received praise for her outstanding contributions to the game. Oshoala achieved the incredible achievement of receiving nominations for the coveted Women’s Ballon d’Or award twice in a row in 2023. Her inclusion on the esteemed list was her second consecutive nomination. Given her incredible 2023 season, in which she helped Barcelona win both the league and the Champions League and guided the Super Falcons to the World Cup Round of 16, all while going undefeated in regular play, her award was well-earned.

Asisat Oshoala is still an inspirational figure on the football pitch despite her incredible career. Her contributions to women’s football are well acknowledged, and her skill and passion are highly recognized. Asisat Oshoala turned 29, and FIFA, the global football governing body, celebrated her birthday and honoured her as one of the most decorated African women’s football players. Her recognition in the annals of football history is well-earned due to her contributions to the game.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Beats Drake’s “Family Matters” To Billboard #1 Spot

"Not Like Us" beats "Family Matters" To Billboard #1 Spot | fab.ng

Kendrick Lamar‘s latest diss track, “Not Like Us,” has landed the coveted number-one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This marks Kendrick’s second chart-topping single in 2024, following the success of “Like That” by Metro Booming & Future.

“Not Like Us” is the final chapter in Kendrick’s rap battle with Drake, and many fans believe it solidified his victory. This track, which Mustard produced, completely outshines Drake’s response song, “Family Matters.” “Family Matters” debuted at a much lower number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Here’s where things get interesting:

Kendrick’s entire diss track trilogy dominated the top 10. “Euphoria” climbed eight spots to number 3, and “Like That” (by Metro Booming & Future) rose two places to number 2.

“Not Like Us” also shattered records on its path to the top. It became the most-streamed rap song on Spotify in the US in a single day, and it nearly broke Drake’s global single-day record for a rap song on Spotify (held by “Girls Want Girls” featuring Lil Baby).

Sales-wise, “Not Like Us” boasted the biggest debut week for any song in 2024, with 510,000 units sold. It fell short only to Taylor Swift’s “Fortnight,” which debuted with 560,000 units.

This chart dominance by Kendrick Lamar’s diss tracks proves that the music, not just the feud, resonated with listeners. “Not Like Us” not only secured the number one spot but also propelled his other diss tracks up the Billboard Hot 100, solidifying his success in this musical battle.

BNXN Bags His First RIAA Certification With "Mood" | Fab.ng

Nigerian music star BNXN (formerly Buju) is on a roll with the hit song “Mood.” It just hit a major milestone in the US music industry.

Remember “Mood”? “Mood” the catchy track BNXN collaborated on with Wizkid for his critically acclaimed album “Made In Lagos (Deluxe Edition).” Well, “Mood” has just been certified gold by the RIAA!

This might sound complex, but here’s the scoop:

The Gold Standard

The RIAA, or Recording Industry Association of America, is a big deal in the US music world. When a song or album earns a Gold or Platinum record from the RIAA, it means it’s achieved super impressive sales or streams. Basically, “Mood” is a bona fide hit in the US!

Reaching Gold Status

So how does a song reach Gold status? The RIAA counts one “unit sale” as a physical album purchase, a download of the song itself (although 10 downloads equal one unit sale), or 1,500 streams on platforms like Spotify or Apple Music. According to the RIAA, “Mood” has officially surpassed 500,000 unit sales, making it Gold certified!

Benefits of Certification

Earning RIAA certification is a huge accomplishment for musicians. It can open doors to exciting opportunities, like:

    • Live Shows: More performance opportunities in the US, like invitations to festivals, tours, or even headlining shows.
    • Record Deals: Record labels love RIAA certifications, and this could lead to lucrative deals that provide BNXN with resources and support to further his career.
    • Endorsements: Increased popularity can attract brand endorsements, generating additional income and expanding BNXN’s reach.
    • Greater Recognition: The RIAA certification basically says American audiences love BNXN’s music! This can significantly boost his overall popularity and career trajectory in the US.

This gold certification is a win for both BNXN and Wizkid. It shows their music resonates with listeners worldwide. This milestone is a stepping stone for BNXN’s continued success in the US, and fans can definitely expect more fantastic music from him in the future.
