Congratulations Omi
Hitting the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 chart is big news and every artiste dream. Last week OMI (whom many had expected to reach #1) met the expectation of many Jamaicans and music enthusiasts and so congratulations were in order. “Cheerleader” continues to set historic trends (personal and other), surpassing 20 million streams in the UK. This comes just around the same time American rapper Kid Ink who landed a major hit on his Show Me remix featuring Chris Brown steps in on the Felix Jaehn vs. Salaam Remi Remix.
Meanwhile, several artistes/DJ, members of the Jamaican music industry and other congratulated Omi for this major accomplishment including Bounty Killer, ZJ Liquid who took to social media. We copied a few tweets to share with you.
