A historic milestone has been achieved as “Money Constant” by DJ Maphorisa, DJ Tunez, Wizkid and Mavoswago officially becomes the fastest song released by a South African artist to reach 28 million streams on Nigeria Spotify. The record reached the impressive figure in just 117 days, cementing its place as one of the biggest cross-continental hits in recent memory.
For DJ Maphorisa, this achievement further solidifies his reputation as a global hitmaker. Known for seamlessly blending Amapiano, Afrobeats and other African sounds, Maphorisa has consistently pushed boundaries and built bridges between South Africa and Nigeria. “Money Constant” is yet another example of that winning formula.
The collaboration brings together a powerhouse lineup. Nigerian star Wizkid adds his unmistakable vocals and international appeal, while DJ Tunez contributes his smooth curatorial touch to the production. Mavoswago’s presence adds additional flavor, creating a well-balanced track that resonates strongly with listeners.
Since its release, “Money Constant” has dominated playlists and social conversations across Nigeria. The song’s infectious rhythm, catchy hook and vibrant production have made it a favorite in clubs, on radio and across streaming platforms. Reaching 28 million streams exclusively on Nigeria Spotify in just under four months is a testament to its undeniable impact.
The achievement also highlights the growing influence of South African artists within the broader African music market. While Amapiano has steadily gained popularity across the continent, milestones like this show that collaborations between South African and Nigerian artists are setting new commercial records.
Beyond the numbers, “Money Constant” represents the power of unity in African music. It blends distinct styles while maintaining a universal appeal, proving that borders are no longer barriers in today’s streaming era.
As the song continues to rack up streams, it’s clear that its momentum is far from slowing down. DJ Maphorisa and his collaborators have not only delivered a hit — they have set a new benchmark. And if this record-breaking pace is anything to go by, even bigger milestones may be on the horizon.
