“Ye”, the Afrobeat single by Nigerian musician – Burna Boy – has been certified gold by Music Canda — an organisation responsible for collating numbers in the music world and dishing out certifications like gold, platinum etc. They are the Candian equivalent of America’s RIAA.

For a record to become certified as gold by Music Canada standard, it must have moved at least 40,000 units in sales including digital downloads, physical sales, streams and ringtone downloads.

“Ye” which can be considered as the single or song that gave Burna Boy his first major international recognition, got a major growth spurt in streams and downloads in June 2018 due to it coincidentally having the same title as Kanye West eight-studio album (Ye).

“Ye” is sixth track off of Burna Boy’s third-studio album ‘Outside’. The music video which was directed by Nigerian renowed videographer – Clarence Peters – has amasassed over 116 million streams since its release two years ago, August 2018.

Burna Boy joins fellow Nigerian music compatriots in Wizkid and Davido to get certifications for their music from Music Canada.

Mr Eazi is in the Christmas mood already with his latest branch of business, aimed at allowing fans who stream his songs, (starting from his next single), benefit by earning monetarily according to the percentage they contribute to it.

Mr. Eazi who acknowledged he will not be this big of an artistes, if not for fans constant streaming of his music and in recent years, this has made him one of the most streamed African artistes.

Fans are about to reap just according to what they sow, if they show interest in Mr.Eazi’s new monetizing scheme. He explains through the tweet: “Gonna try an experiment on my next release where you guys the fans will be able to buy shares on My song! Meaning you will own an equity % on the song! As u stream & give me $ some goes back to You!!!”

This scheme not only gives fans the option to make money from streaming his music, it also allows them a percentage ownership of the single. Mr Eazi continues: “Imagine you had a % of my last song with Nicki or my new single “LENTO “ with Jbalvin!!! As u stream u make it a hit, some of the $ comes to you! But most importantly you are a true part of the Global Smash Hit you helped create.”

This is tagged an “experiment” by Mr. Eazi, so it is quite clear everyone will be eager to see how fruitful it turns out to be. The registration for the experimental equity option is ongoing on Mr. Eazi owned Empawa Africa website.

The 2020 edition of The Experience, an all-night gospel show, will hold carefully as a virtual concert,says the coordinators of the program.

The program, which has become a most loved yearly occasion for gospel music darlings.

Presently in its fifteenth year, the yearly occasion facilitated by the Senior Pastor of House On The Rock, Paul Adefarasin, features multi-gifted and dynamic gospel artistes from various parts of the world.

The previous 14 editions were held at the Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos and each social occasion arrived at the midpoint of a participation of more than 500,000 individuals, making it ostensibly the biggest gospel show on Earth .

However, the coordinators of the program declared for the current week that the occasion won’t hold at the extensive space in the Tafawa Balewa Square, a choice taken to keep up physical separating in the midst of the Covid pandemic.

The Experience 15 (Global Edition), is scheduled to hold on Friday, 11th December, 2020 virtually, livestreamed around the world, serving as a platform to unify the global Church and establish God’s Kingdom here on earth,” the organisers wrote on the event website.

“Yes, we had the last 14 editions together mainly in one place, yet now we are not apart, we are still in this together as we go global with the #TE15G. There are no barriers and nothing can stop us, our God deserves our praise all the way, and He will have it,” @TheExperienceLG tweeted.

This year’s concert will contain great performances locally and internationally from the likes Don Moen, Tope Alabi, William MCDowell, Tasha Cobbs, amongst others.
