Rising music star, Mr Eazi, has recognised himself as the second bestselling artiste in West Africa as he labels Wizkid the champion ahead of him.

Mr. Eazi, in a recent media interview in Ghana, opened up that he has held that place in the past one year, on a number of the major global music streaming platforms.

He said: "I don’t mean to brag but in the past one year in West Africa, I’ve been the second bestselling artiste on Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Tidal … the second best next to Wizkid."

He also made it clear that he is in business with Starboy Worldwide and not signed into some ‘360 deal’ as many have made it to appear.

‘I’m unsigned. I never even signed myself … We’ve all been in business,’ Mr Eazi said of being part of the label alongside Wizkid, Efya and R2Bees.

It’s just the mentality of people. When you hear Drake signed The Weeknd, it doesn’t mean Drake brought some 360 deal, there are different ways of signing an artiste.

What it is is that we’re in business together, Everybody is in business together and I feel like I’m getting the most because now, when I walk into a meeting and I say ‘Starboy Worldwide’ they are like ‘oh, Wizkid, Efya,” he said.

However, he said that only two artistes you’ll most likely hear on radio in the UK is himself and Wizkid.

"If you go into the UK and put on the radio, the only two artistes you’ll most likely hear on radio are myself and Wizkid.

‘If you put on the TV, you would see myself and Wizkid on it. And the next R2Bees project, you will see it there."
