Since its debut in 2019, ‘Joro’ has garnered widespread acclaim both in Nigeria and internationally, playing a key role in popularizing Afrobeats across borders. The track has also achieved 125 million streams on Spotify and 290 million views on YouTube, making it one of the genre’s most popular songs on both platforms.
