In this ranking, “No Turning Back II” has outperformed several big Afrobeats hits this year. While Davido’s “With You” featuring Omah Lay has garnered around 44 million views globally, YouTube’s metrics specific to Nigeria reveal that Gaise Baba’s message-driven track has truly captured local attention and trending status. Even Shallipopi’s viral sensation “Laho,” which boasts over 20 million views, couldn’t keep up in terms of overall engagement in Nigeria.
