Niniola reacts as Drake recommends ‘Maradona’ on BBC
Popular Nigerian singer, Niniola Apata has been generating buzz beyond the shores of Africa with her music lately, with the latest recognition coming from Drake, a Canadian rapper.
The multiple award-winning songstress shared a post on her Instagram page where Drizzy is heard requesting her hit song ‘Maradona‘ be played on BBC’s 1Xtra Rap Show.
The hip-hop series is helmed by Tiffany Calver, a British disc jockey. The OVO boss who just concluded his seven-night run at the O2 Arena, London where he had guest performances from the likes of Wizkid and J.Cole and many more served as co-host in this special episode.
In the post, the ‘God’s Plan’ singer teases his co-host, calling her the ‘Queen of Rap Radio’ and later requests ‘Maradona’ be played.
“When your new Bestie @champagnepapi starts to watch ur back 
while co-hosting the show last nite with @tiffanycalver @bbc1xtra,” wrote Niniola, who could not hide her excitement.
Barely a week ago, the ‘Designer’ crooner announced that the Grammy award-winning artiste followed her on Instagram.
“Imagine waking up in the morning to find out Drake just followed u… Hmm, Dis Isolo girl Sha!!! I followed back immediately @champagnepapi Welcome” she said.
Drake is not the only international artiste to recognise her talent.
Some weeks ago, Timbaland, American music producer, was seen in a video that surfaced online, bopping to her new single ‘Designer’ which she recently released its visuals.
