This is the first time Chike would be achieving this immense feat. Since his big break in 2020, he never had a song that made it into the top 3 of the official Nigerian music chart.

The Mohbad effect

Chike alone won't be getting all the accolades for this outstanding achievement, as the song was a collaborative project.

Though the track was released months after Mohbad's demise, it was recorded before he passed.

The song is a collaboration between Chike and Mohbad.

Many have credited the song's rise to number one mainly to Mohbad's influence and his part in the project.
