The goal was to reach a total of 50,000 viewers in order to jumpstart her music career, but within the first week, it reached a 100,000 views and exceeded a million views in its first month on the platform.

In May of the same year, she released another mashup of Mr Eazi’s ‘Leg Over’ which reached over 100,00 views on the first day.

Last year, Nicki Minaj shared a video of her jamming to one of Fofie’s mashups on Instagram, and has been a keen follower of her music since. She put Fofie on her tour this year and in Amsterdam, March 25th, Nana Fofie opened for the first time for Nicki Minaj on her world tour.

The news of her joining her label doesn’t come as a big surprise as the two ladies seem to have struck a great rapport on the tour.
