You are right. Headlining your show comes from people familiarity with your album, but he is getting there. People who like latin music vibe are coming onboard, for example Emiliana also has good streams and he has more YouTube subscribers than Rema and Fireboy combined plus change so it's a base to build on. I think he needs more Collaborations with known international artistes to get to that headlining stage

Yeah we are now saying same thing, like i said earlier, inorganically he is bigger than both, but then again online streams and certifications are not real life audience. He need to feature international artists more at this stage of his career and not Davido.

bestmutiu2019:
Don't matter their recent single WATAWI is a mad jam

The song is good. I’m just saying with the fame some people on here claim Ckay have, ie, international artiste fame he should be aiming to do more song with redefined singers with good vocals. Davido, Tekno and kizz Daniel vocals matches very well. This is why Wizkid is getting bigger and bigger, he know who and who to feature to any of his songs, whereas Davido just feature randomly.

donstan18:
Comparing CKay to Rema and Fireboy??

Just like BBN made Laycon and his songs popular, Tiktok made Ckay and his song popular.

You don’t compare these people with Rema and Fireboy please. Let’s respect ourselves.

Ckay, Laycon, WhiteMoney and Chike should be in the same category. People who didn’t grow organically with their craft, just luck from tiktok, BBN and MTN project fame/The Voice Nigeria.

Exactly, people are now mistaken internet world to real life. Online streams and certifications nor be real life audience oo.

airmark:
At the moment, Rema is not organically bigger than Fireboy.

That Peru song ft Ed, leapfrogged him over all of them and he is not relenting as he has taken his time to drop his 3rd album and clear all doubts.

A lot around the world are checking him out and a big win for Afrobeat.

True, maybe currently fireboy is bigger due to that remix with ED. He is really going global while Rema is lacking behind in that regard. But Rema still has more fan than fireboy for some reasons like star power.

Bombblacks:
Thank you. Ckay will do huge numbers anywhere in the world and in any arena currently. He has mad international fans.

This is not true. Ckay blown but it was inorganic via TikTok hence he is even struggling to do 2k capacity show. Na one music wey audience know you wan Dey sing, then come manage sing Emiliana, finish. Baba online streams and certifications nor be real life audience oo.

Unlimited22:
Ckay can only do club tours? Someone who just performed in front of a sold out Arena in Paris only last week? Are you people playing?

Ckay performed at Wizkid 02 show, does that make it his show.

Ibime:
CKays push didn't come from inside Nigeria, that's why it's difficult for Nigerians to accept. The Oyinbos made CKay big via TikTok. He is an International superstar that never developed a local fanbase, that's why these niggas no want gree

You are right but then again it is an issue because after LN what will be his next song that will appeal this same Oyinbo. He still need Africans and Nigerians to form a fan base if he want to remain relevant in the future.

Joezinho:
And Burgerzard isn't?

Hazard is epl and French league legend already. Injury happened to him in la liga. Rashford is sh1t same with Sancho, both are passive wingers, I.e, they can not influence team to victory.

airmark:
I can't even list 5 hits by CKay.

Organically, Rema is bigger, then fireboy before Ckay. Inorganically, Ckay is bigger than the other two. Rema and fireboy can organize a show and it will be successful, Ckay is still lacking in this aspect due to lack of hits, except maybe it’s 1k or 1.5k capacity which is mostly hotel lounge or clubs.

Bombblacks:
Just stop please. Ckay is the most booked African artiste so far in 2022 with over 30 bookings across 20 countries while headlining 6 of them. You think show promoters are dumb or what. Ckay will sellout any arena in Europa, US and around the world currently. He is the most popular African artist in the world ryt now.

You don’t know music then. Booking an artiste for shows is different from organizing a personal show, Ckay can’t do later successfully for now. Of course he is been booked for shows, I’m not disputing that.

Unlimited22:
Ckay can only do club tours? Someone who just performed in front of a sold out Arena in Paris only last week? Are you people playing?

Was it his show and what was the capacity? ED brought out fireboy is different from fireboy show at the wembley.

Bombblacks:
By hit songs do you mean amount of streams world wide, awards nominations / Won or Charts topped?

Probably he meant they have more trendy songs which mostly comes with organic view and AirPlay. Ckay can only do club tours for now due to lack of many songs. Middle East and some Asian countries like India blew up LN via TikTok, the song got certification and numbers via streams.

airmark:
Fireboy 6yrs or wetin? Are you trying to say CKay blew after Fireboy? CKay that signed a record deal and came out in 2016? You should stop this bro.

Fireboy broke in 2019, after signing with Ybnl. CKay released so many tracks that flopped until Love Nwantiti happened. So, don't fly that kite that Fireboy joined the game professionally before CKay.

It's a lie that Fireboy built fanbase for 6yrs while CKay came out after lockdown. You are trying to do too much

Ckay LN was helped by TikTok, it was accidental blow but it’s all good for him. He had to stop featuring Davido if he really want to go far because they don’t sing same way.

MorataFC:
na so we talk am 2 seasons ago

We won ucl, cwc and super cup.

BlueAngel444:
Make I sha dream, no be crime

Sterling/Werner Havertz/Broja Raphinha/Odoi

Mount/Gallagher Kovacic/Savic
Kante/Gilmour

Chilwell/Emerson Silva/Deligt Kounde/Trevoh James/Clauss


Did I forget anybody like Sarr, Ampadu

Koulibaly for experience. Rice during winter to replace outgoing Jorginho and Gilmour(loan).

andrewbaba44:
Victor Valdez was still making one on one saves on a steady ,nothing covered him .

He wasn’t a bad gk .

Vaaldez was average, he left barca and became sh1t; him, Bousquet and Pique are not all that, they were system player.

donstan18:
Rice is the 3rd best DM in EPL after Rodri and Fab.

And the reason they’re ahead of him is because they play for ManCity and Liverpool.

Chelsea should get Rice. He’s a full package.

Rice is tactically average at receiving the ball in tight corner and make do of it by been creative, instead he ballon the ball out which is not good for a top club, he can be thought though but then again English players rarely improve.

airmark:
You and this Love Nwantiti numbers. . Numbers that don't translate to soldout personal tours? Why is it hard for CKay to run personal tour in different cities in the US?

Who is topping the Billboard Afrobeat chart? Definitely not CKay, so forget all those bots generated streams you are aggregating. Those in the industry knows that Fireboy is bigger than him, that's why he commands more important shows home and abroad.

Organically, Fireboy and Rema are bigger than Ckay. Forget, streams and certification he is still a one hit wonder, he has to still organically make himself visible to the world and not stat padding with one with many remixes.

Joezinho:
You should know I don't hype trashy players. Sterling isn't close to Rashford's left toe. If sterling is that good why can't your dead Barka buy him?

You and the two people wey like this comment suppose chop cane. Rashford is overrated and trashy, someone that his shirt was not guaranteed even while he was “on form”. Sterling and Kane’s shirt are sure for England for years now. Sancho is bum, he doesn’t have the drive to be world class, another overrated winger. Only Greenwood have the potential to be great if not for attitude.

Joezinho:
Android, no disrespect to sterling but he has 3 strengths -- pace and movement and falling over in the box..

But he's still better than dembele Sha.

Pace and movement in the attacking phase is what we have actually lacked since Hazard left.

timbros:
Raphinha thrives on space. Pace. Bielsa things.

Let's see him against low block defenders first.

Jorginho need to be sold so that we can play open and free flow football, by that, opponent will come out to play us then individual talent will win us the game. Jorginho make us to pass 1000 times in our half without proper progression.

donstan18:
Hello Chief Airmark, how’s the family?

I hope you’re getting ready to support Chelsea’s progress Ahead of banter?

Not sure it will happen due to his injury record and also we are getting Sterling.

raumdeuter:
So Chelsea is getting their targets now

Lets know who is imposing Raphinha on Tuchel early.

We dont want season to start and we are hearing how one APC and PDP godfather imposed one player without going through indirect primary

The team is still not complete yet to compete with city and liverpool, CDM is needed, Jorginho slow our transitional play and he is weak without the ball.

donstan18:
It’ll be scary, but not for Chelsea.

I tell ya. Now I can watch our games properly next season. Only Replacement for CDM is still lacking, an astute CDM with technical and tactical ability is what we need now to make this team formidable again.

lordfalcao:
Buying raphinha and sterling means we are not buying any center forward this summer

Which is good. Werner and Havertz is enough to play there. Only deficiency now is CDM. CBs will definitely be bought.

Think4Yourself:
Raphinha signs for Chelsea

Good signing; astute with the ball, fast, a good shooter and dribbler. Sterling next.

BlueMann:
Tuchel wants a 1v1 attacking player and, as of today (and everything subject to change in a transfer window), it seems Raphinha is the most likely to be join Chelsea along with Sterling.

via Matt Law on Twitter.

Also, the new bid for Sterling is reported to be £35m plus add-ons.

Sterling and Raphinha is a good deal. Time for Zyech to go Seria A and become king kong and then our fanbase starts saying how we didn’t give him chance. Get Savic in place of Loftus cheek and Barkley. A CDM that can replace Jorginho during winter. Two CBs and then Ake to replace Sarr.

Jodera:
I tell you.
I wish that boy do come sha. Such talent dey rare in this present generation of players to go in waste

He has been allowed to join the team.

Ibime:
But not good enough for City

He is good as back up/squad rotation for both chelsea and city.

andrewbaba44:
How is ake a problem ?

Dude is better than what your currently have at CB

You are high. He is only better than Sarr. Except we are selling Sarr to get him.

Griffon:
Better upgrades. Zinchenko is way solid than Alonso. Ake is the man Sarr dreams to be and Sterling shits on all of our forwards.

I tell ya, these are proper buys aside Ake, except he is replacing Sarr and we still go for two CB.

drisham:
Sign this beast abeg

Sterling is very good. I’m surprise some of our fans don’t know this. Aside stats, He has been a good footballer since his liverpool days, strong with the ball and make runs.
