Pheelz is celebrating a big milestone as his hit song “Finesse,” featuring BNXN, has been certified platinum in France. This shows how much Afrobeats is growing in Europe, especially in the French music scene where the song has become very popular.
Released in 2022, “Finesse” quickly became a favorite both in Nigeria and around the world. The track’s catchy mix of mid-tempo beats, smooth melodies, and a blend of English and Pidgin lyrics captured the spirit of the phrase “You Only Live Once (YOLO).” It was one of the top songs of 2022 and ended the year as one of the most-streamed songs in Nigeria.

The song is a lead single from Pheelz’s EP, “Pheelz Good,” which also earned praise and ranked among Pulse Nigeria’s Top 10 EPs in 2023. Before going platinum, “Finesse” had already received a gold certification in France. Getting platinum is a big step forward for Pheelz’s international career.
Now, “Finesse” joins other Nigerian songs that have done well in France. These include Rema’s “Charm,” “Soundgasm,” and “Dumebi,” Omah Lay’s “Soso,” and Burna Boy’s “Gbona” and “City Boy.” The success of “Finesse” is not just in France—it also earned platinum certifications in Canada and the United States.
