YEMI ALADE VS DAVIDO: RACE TO HIT 100million YOUTUBE VIEWS

Let's celebrate our own Mama Africa Yemi Alade and OBO himself Davido as they both race closely to be the first indigenous Nigerian artiste to hit a hundred million views on YouTube.

In this age of trends, clicks, views, likes, etc. etc, where top global acts are conveniently surpassing a billion views and counting, it's still going to be a notable milestone in the Nigerian and African entertainment space. Yemi Alade's Johnny, undeniably one of the biggest singles to be released in Africa over the last five years (March 3, 2014 to be precise) and has not for a beat lost steam. Still trending even hotter than recent hits by top acts, it is just about 3.5m views from crossing the 100m milestone.

Closely followed, and as you would expect, trending hotter on the world's biggest video upload platform, is Davido's Fall. Fall is 3 years and 3 months fresher on YouTube than Johnny, released on June 2, 2017, and is generating views at a faster rate than the latter. Being one of the "30 billion" crooner's biggert singles ever, Fall just crossed 90m views about two weeks ago.

Last week was very stewy, thanks to Wizzy and Tiwa. Let's jump on YouTube this week, fans or famz or whichever and let's be a part of this close race, even make it a photo finish if possible. Shoutout to Yemi Alade. Shoutout to Davido. 100 million YouTube views, the race is on!
