Boomplay, which is one of Nigeria’s leading music streaming platforms, made the announcement across their social media platforms to celebrate the monumental achievement.
This achievement holds significant value for not only Simi but also for other female artists whose talents have created a spine for the female side of Nigeria’s fast-growing music industry.
This new record sees Simi join the league of Nigerian artists such as Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Fireboy DML, Omah Lay, and Joeboy, who have garnered 100 million streams on Boomplay.
