Ghanaian music sensation Gyakie has achieved another remarkable accomplishment after the remix version of her internationally celebrated single “Forever” featuring Nigerian recording star Omah Lay exceeded 100 million views on YouTube as of May 24, 2026.
The visual production, which premiered on March 18, 2021, has emerged as one of the most defining moments in Gyakie’s flourishing musical journey. The remix beautifully combined her calm and soothing Afrobeats melodies alongside Omah Lay’s distinctive vocal delivery, helping the song dominate Nigeria’s TurnTable charts where it secured the number one position and strengthened its reputation as one of Africa’s most admired contemporary records.
Reaching the 100 million milestone highlights the song’s enduring popularity among listeners across multiple digital communities. The achievement reflects consistent replay activity through fan generated content, curated streaming compilations, and viral circulation across TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. The accomplishment also elevates the production into YouTube’s prestigious high performance category, a development that often enhances global visibility, strengthens royalty earnings, and extends long term commercial success on international music rankings.
Gyakie initially gained widespread recognition following the release of her 2020 extended play project “Seed,” which featured the original edition of “Forever.” The remix collaboration with Omah Lay later attained double platinum certification and significantly elevated her standing as one of Africa’s most recognisable emerging musical voices.
Her expanding catalogue of successful releases includes admired records such as “Never Like This,” “Sor Mi Mu” featuring Bisa Kdei, “Need Me,” “Whine,” and “Love Is Pretty.” Over the years, Gyakie has cultivated a respected artistic identity through her seamless fusion of Afrobeats, Rhythm and Blues, Soul music, and Highlife while maintaining emotionally rich vocals that continue to resonate with audiences beyond the African continent.
Speaking about her latest project titled “After Midnight,” Gyakie described the body of work as “my first baby,” emphasizing the deeply personal inspiration behind the production. According to the Ghanaian singer, the project reflects her artistic growth, celebrates her Ghanaian heritage, and represents her commitment to remaining humble and authentic despite her rapidly rising international prominence.
