Dreams do come true. Time and time again, we’ve been able to see this play out in the Nigerian music industry. The latest of this is with Nigerian singer, Olakira who just got a collaboration deal with leading automobile brand, Maserati.
Ade Ebenezer, known by his stage name Olakira is a fast-rising Nigerian singer and producer who rose to stardom for his hit song, ‘In My Maserati.’
Songs have different meanings to different audiences and Olakira has been able to key into an audience that relates to his sound, and music, creating meaning to it. Seeing the result of the genius he created with the first released ‘In My Maserati,’ the singer went on to make a remix of the song, and also a remake of it.
The three versions of the song are doing great numbers across all streaming platforms but with a focus on Spotify, the first and original version has gathered 16,597,105 streams, ‘Maserati Remix has gathered 7,114,190 streams, ‘In My Maserati (Moris Beat Mix)’ has gathered 1,308,571 streams.
