It appears he is not shattering records for the most streamed album in a day on only Apple Music but also on Spotify Nigeria and Boomplay.
On his first day, he had 7.25 million streams on Boomplay and 4.91 million on Spotify Nigeria.
His new album comes after several days of absence from social media and the public eye following the tragic death of his three-year-old son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, in October 2022.
The boy died after drowning in a swimming pool while in the care of his babysitter.
At the time of the incident, his parents were not home.
