Gyakie Hits the 100M Club: ‘Forever’ Remix with Omah Lay Smashes YouTube Milestone
Ghanaian singer Gyakie has scored another major career milestone as the remix of her global hit ‘Forever’ featuring Nigerian star Omah Lay crossed 100 million views on YouTube as of May 24, 2026.
Released on March 18, 2021, the video has become one of Gyakie’s biggest international breakthroughs. The remix fused her mellow Afrobeats class with Omah Lay’s signature vocals, propelling the track to No. 1 on Nigeria’s TurnTable charts and cementing its status as a continental favourite.
Crossing the 100‑million mark signals massive replay value across fan communities, curated playlists, and viral moments on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. It also places the video in YouTube’s higher‑tier recognition bracket, often boosting royalties, visibility, and long‑term chart performance.
Gyakie first captured national attention with her 2020 EP Seed, led by the original version of ‘Forever’. The Omah Lay remix later went 2x platinum, transforming her into one of Africa’s most recognisable young voices.
Her early catalogue includes fan favourites such as ‘Never Like This’, ‘Sor Mi Mu’ featuring Bisa Kdei, ‘Need Me’, ‘Whine’, and ‘Love Is Pretty’. Gyakie has built a reputation for blending Afrobeats, R&B, Soul, and Highlife with soft, emotive vocals that resonate across borders.
