Afrobeats giants Wizkid and Asake have delivered a powerful statement with “Jogodo,” a collaboration that has exploded across Nigeria’s digital music space and shattered long-standing streaming records.
Released on January 15, 2026, the track serves as the lead single from their forthcoming joint project, REAL, Vol. 1, and its impact was immediate. Within just 24 hours, “Jogodo” pulled in an astonishing 1.388 million streams on Spotify Nigeria, officially becoming the biggest first-day debut ever recorded by a collaborative song on the platform in the country.
The feat places “Jogodo” second on Nigeria’s all-time highest first-day streaming list, trailing only Wizkid’s solo record-breaker “Kese (Dance)”, which opened with 1.57 million streams. For collaborations, however, the song now stands unrivalled.
Much of the track’s appeal lies in its chemistry. Wizkid’s laid-back melodies glide effortlessly over Asake’s gritty, fuji-inspired delivery, creating a high-energy anthem that has resonated instantly with listeners. The song debuted at No. 1 on Spotify Nigeria’s Daily Chart and has remained a fixture across major playlists, fuelling its rapid rise.
Beyond the numbers, “Jogodo” reinforces the duo’s commanding presence in the streaming era and underscores the growing global appetite for Afrobeats. Wizkid’s long-standing dominance on international platforms, paired with Asake’s meteoric rise, has proven to be a formidable combination.
With REAL, Vol. 1 scheduled for release on January 23, 2026, industry watchers and fans alike are already predicting more record-setting moments — as Wizkid and Asake continue to redefine what success looks like in Nigerian and African music.
