Pink Print 10th Anniversary Edition: Nicki Minaj Feat Davido | fab.ng

Nigerian superstar Davido has joined forces with Nicki Minaj for an exciting new track. The collaboration appears on the 10th-anniversary edition of Nicki Minaj’s iconic album, The Pink Print, originally released in December 2014.

The album, which featured hits like Anaconda and Only (featuring Lil Wayne and Chris Brown), celebrates its milestone with four fresh tracks, spotlighting several global artists, including Davido.

Released on November 22, 2024, this special edition includes If It’s Okay, where Davido shares the spotlight with French DJ and producer David Guetta.

This marks Davido’s second collaboration with Nicki Minaj; their first partnership was on Holy Ground from Davido’s 2020 album A Better Time.

The track blends Afrobeat rhythms with Nicki’s signature rap style, creating a dynamic fusion that highlights both artists’ strengths.

Nicki Minaj took to her X account to express heartfelt appreciation for Davido’s contribution. Her post quickly garnered attention from Nigerian fans, who admired her engagement with the Nigerian music scene.

This connection isn’t new; Minaj has previously interacted with her Nigerian audience, often sharing posts in Pidgin English.

Alongside If It’s Okay, the anniversary edition features other notable tracks, including Turn Yo Cap Back featuring Swae Lee, Arctic Tundra with the late Juice WRLD, and Remember Me featuring Parker Ighile. Each song adds a new dimension to the already celebrated album.

Since its original release, The Pink Print has cemented Nicki Minaj’s status as one of the greatest female rappers in history.

Her continued influence and collaborations with global stars like Davido underscore her commitment to evolving artistry and international appeal.

This latest collaboration further bridges the gap between Afrobeat and global pop culture, showcasing Davido’s growing influence on the world stage.

Wizkid Releases His Highly Anticipated Album, "Morayo" | fab.ng
After months of anticipation, Wizkid has finally dropped his highly awaited eighth project and sixth studio album, Morayo. He named the album in honour of his late mother.

Released on November 22, 2024, Morayo features 16 tracks. It includes collaborations with Brent Faiyaz, Asake, Jasmine Sullivan, Anaïs Cardot, and Tiakola.

The album was preceded by two hit singles, Piece of My Heart featuring Brent Faiyaz and Kese (Dance). Both songs achieved remarkable milestones, setting new streaming records on Spotify Nigeria.

Kese (Dance) amassed 1.5 million streams on its first day. It surpassed the previous record held by Piece of My Heart, which garnered 1.016 million streams on its opening day. These achievements highlight Wizkid’s enduring popularity and dominance in the African music scene.

In addition to these milestones, Wizkid set a new record for the highest number of opening-day streams for an African artist on Spotify. This achievement reaffirms his status as one of the continent’s most influential and commercially successful musicians.

With Kese (Dance) from “Morayo” breaking records, Wizkid now holds the top four spots on the list of the biggest first-day streams on Spotify Nigeria.

This unprecedented accomplishment underscores his consistent ability to capture audiences and generate massive streaming numbers with each release.

Fans and industry insiders alike expect Wizkid’s latest album to continue this record-breaking trend. Morayo not only showcases his musical versatility and knack for collaborations but also solidifies his position as a global ambassador for African music.

By combining heartfelt tributes with infectious beats, Wizkid continues to push the boundaries of Afrobeat, reinforcing his legacy as a trailblazer in the industry.

As Morayo garners more attention and accolades, it further cements Wizkid’s reputation as a powerhouse in Nigerian and global music, setting new benchmarks for future generations.

Wizkid’s ‘Kese (Dance)’ Reclaims Top Spot on Apple Music Nigeria

Wizkid’s latest single, ‘Kese (Dance)‘ dramatically returned to the Apple Music Nigeria Top 100 chart. The song temporarily disappeared on November 18, 2024, sparking widespread speculation among fans and music enthusiasts.

Fab.ng first reported the unexpected chart removal. Despite vanishing from the Nigerian chart, ‘Dance’ maintained its position on global Top 100 lists. Remarkably, it remained the sole Nigerian and African track on international charts.

Apple Music’s chart management protocols suggest potential reasons for the temporary removal. The platform commonly investigates potential streaming manipulation. When suspicious activity emerges, they remove and then reinstate tracks after verifying stream authenticity.

Fans and industry watchers developed multiple theories. Some believed the removal resulted from technical complications. Others suspected a deeper investigation into streaming patterns. The exact mechanism remained unclear.

Within hours, ‘Kese (Dance)’ returned to its top chart position. The song demonstrated sufficient streaming strength to reclaim its previous standing. Wizkid’s continued musical dominance remained unquestionable.

The incident generated additional excitement around Wizkid’s upcoming album ‘Morayo.’ Scheduled for release on November 22, 2024, the album generates significant anticipation. Wizkid strategically shared the official tracklist, further fueling fan enthusiasm.

Music industry observers noted the incident’s potential marketing impact. The temporary chart removal inadvertently increased visibility for both the single and the upcoming album. Wizkid’s strategic music release continues to capture the audience’s attention.

The event underscores the complex dynamics of digital music platforms. Streaming charts represent more than simple popularity metrics. They reflect intricate algorithmic and investigative processes.

Wizkid continues to demonstrate his significant influence in Nigerian and global music scenes. ‘Kese (Dance)’ represents another milestone in his remarkable musical journey.

Fans remain eager to experience the full ‘Morayo’ album, anticipating another potential chart-topping release from the superstar artist.
