Burna Boy, the award-winning Nigerian singer and composer, has finally dethroned Tanzania's Diamond Platnumz as the most-streamed musician on YouTube in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Chibu Dangote had previously led the pack regarding YouTube views, but that is no longer true.

Currently, the YouTube King has over 2,252,124,206 views (and counting) versus Diamond's 2,246,395,673 views (and counting). Burna joined the streaming service on January 13, 2018, while Platnumz joined on June 12, 20112.

Platnumz, on the other hand, still holds the record for the most subscribers in Sub-Saharan Africa. He has over 7.98 million subscribers, whereas Burna Boy has more than 4.13 million.
