He will be performing alongside Mariah Carey, Maxwell, Kendrick Lamar and several other international artistes.
This gives the Starboy’s music a strong platform and huge opportunity to get some R&B/Hip-Hop fans to get familiar and hopefully love his sound making him crossover stronger to the U.S and International global market.
The pop star became the first Nigerian artist to emerge on Billboard’s Twitter Last 24 hours chart courtesy of his feature in Drake's 'One dance' song.

On 'One dance,' the 6 God gets assists from Wizkid, whom he worked with last year by featuring in a remix to the singer’s ‘Ojuelegba’ mega tune, and Kyla, sampling the Crazy Cousinz remix of her song, 'Do You Mind'. This raises the bar a lot higher for the star pop singer helping to improve his brand visibility. The tune 'One dance' features production by Ninteen85 with co-production credits by 40.
The Nigerian pop singer is having a busy year so far going on international tours as well as local ones while also hatching likely major collaborations with international as well as local music acts.
