These numbers are expected to keep surging even more, given that joint effort with Drake’s collected such figures within a short time, plus given the fact that she even announced that she would be dropping new music by the end of this year, while in an interview with BET Amplified only means that new material will be added.

Congratulations Temi. 🥳😊
