Grammy award-winning British singer, Ed Sheeran has said Fireboy’s ‘Peru’ remix, which he featured in is the biggest Afrobeats song ever in England.
He said this during an interview noting he never imagined that the song would eventually become that big.
He also described the song as the biggest-selling collaboration and second biggest-selling song of the year.
“I did an Afrobeat song with an artiste, Fireboy DML. And it’s ended up being the biggest-selling collaboration in England this year. It’s the second biggest-selling song of the year.
“I think it’s the biggest Afrobeats song ever in England. And that was very much me being open to it.
“It was actually my friend that passed away in February, he was the one that hooked that up. I didn’t know it was going to be that big, I was just like “yeah cool”.
On December 21, 2021, Fireboy and Ed Sheeran delivered a double global hit with the remix of his already successful song, ‘Peru’.
On it, the 31-year-old “Shivers” singer showed off his bilingual skills as he briefly sang in Yoruba on the track.
