On her Shazam enlistment, she said, “People are most likely Shazamming my music in Ubers.” Bloody Civilian’s streams and Shazams have been on the rise since November 2022, when she was featured on the soundtrack to ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,’ scoring her first Daily Top 100 hit. She also made her Shazam chart debut in April 2023 with “I Don’t Like You,” which also became her second Daily Top 100 hit. But it’s in the latter half of 2023 that things really started to pick up, with her debut EP Anger Management reaching the top 10 of the Afrobeats albums chart in 69 countries worldwide, including nine where it reached No. 1. Her streams on editorial playlists grew over 50% in the last six months of the year.
