In a video shared by the fast rising musician on his Instagram page while receiving the certificate, he said ”it is one of his biggest win so far”.

Although Goya Menor’s ‘Ameno Amapiano Remix was released in June 2021, it has since accumulated over 4.7 million video creations and 9.5 billion video views on TikTok and has managed to climb major music charts in different parts of Africa, becoming a popular global tune.

As TikTok’s most talked about song, it is a beautiful fusion of Nigerian Afrobeats and lyrics with South Africa’s musical export, Amapiano, which are two of the most successful genres to come out of the continent.

The ‘Ameno’ song has united the globe with its dance inducing rhythmic flow and TikTok content creators have taken the song to new creative heights by reimagining the sound clip and its popular lyrics: “Ha! You want to bam ba? You wanna chill with the big boys?”
