Blaqbonez finally drops his highly anticipated single, “Chanel” and it was definitely worth the wait. Bad Boy Blaq returns with some much needed “big boy music”, and who better to recruit on this than Mr M$NEY? Produced by Spykida, Jaypoppin, and Johnson IP, the production on Chanel is stellar, with both artists flowing freely on the bounce, dropping braggadocios bars. The chemistry is undeniable.
Blaqbonez and Asake wasted no time proving their collaboration was worth the anticipation. “Chanel,” the highly awaited joint single from both artists, has surged past one million streams on Spotify in just 17 hours of release, while simultaneously claiming the number one spot on Apple Music Nigeria’s Top Songs chart in under 24 hours.
The record’s opening day performance was striking from the very first data snapshot. Within just five hours of tracking, “Chanel” debuted at number eight on the Spotify Nigeria Top Songs chart, logging 216,480 streams in that window alone. The trajectory from there was rapid and uninterrupted, crossing the seven-figure milestone on the platform before most listeners had even fully digested the record.
The Apple Music climb was equally decisive. “Chanel” reached the top of the Nigeria chart before the song had completed its first full day in circulation. Both feats carry added significance in context. “Chanel” is now the fastest rap song to achieve these streaming milestones in Nigeria.
The song is released under Chocolate City Music, Blaqbonez’s long-standing label home. The numbers place “Chanel” immediately among the most impactful Nigerian rap releases of 2026, and with streaming momentum still building, its final first-week figures are expected to push further.
Chanel is on course to seal its spot as the biggest Nigerian rap song of 2026.
