Nigerian music star Kizz Daniel has expressed gratitude to fans for hitting his first 100 million views on YouTube with his hit song ‘Buga’.

Since the release of ‘Buga’ in May, the song has been accepted by the young and old, and listed as the number one song in this year’s Google search by Nigerians.

The afrobeat superstar took to his Instagram page to celebrate the great achievement and also share the good news with his fans for their constant support.

According to the 28-year-old singer, this is his first 100 million views on a content on YouTube and many more to come by ‘God’s grace’.

“Celebrate your success, no matter the matter, it attracts more 100 million views in five months. Thank you l am grateful. This is my first 100 million views on a content on YouTube and many more to come by HIS GRACE, #BUGA”.

The singer had earlier stated that ‘Buga’ (meaning to ‘Show Off’), was to honour hard effort, devotion, and accomplishment, but not extolling arrogance and ingratitude.

The song ‘Buga’ is undoubtedly one of the most popular songs in the country at the moment, because it is the number one song on Apple Music’s Top 100 Chart in Nigeria.

The song, which featured Tekno, another top-class singer from Nigeria, was one of the top five afrobeat songs in the world, as well as the most shazamed song in the world.

Kizz Daniel is a Nigerian singer and songwriter best known for his singles “Woju” and “Yeba”.
