Nigerian singer and owner of Fly Boy inc Kizz Daniel’s latest release, ‘Buga’, has become the most shazamed song in the world.

The Shazam application, owned by Apple and developed by Shazam Entertainment, is used to identify music, movies, advertising, and television shows, based on a short sample played and using the microphone on the device, announced via their official Twitter page, congratulating the Nigerian star saying, “Big congrats to @KizzDaniel!! #Buga is the most Shazamed song in the world: apple.co/ShazamGlobalCh… ”

With 793,363 shazams in two weeks, Kizz Daniel’s ‘Buga’, produced by Tekno and released May 3, became a viral sensation with its signature dance on social media, including Tik Tok.
