28 Jan Maradona played as pre-game soccer pump up song at FNB stadium in South Africa

“Maradona“, the smash hit single by Niniola, was on Saturday played as a pre-game pump up song at a soccer game between the Kazier Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns, at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa.

As seen from the video below, it’s no secret that Niniola’s recent and steady chart successes with her song Maradona, both on radio and TV (as well as online streaming), and especially in South Africa, is a true reflection of the people’s love for her special kind of music.

Niniola, fondly called the Queen of Afro-House (#QOAH), certainly has the House music audience in South Africa on some Fort Knox level lockdown! In the words of DJ Edu of BBC Radio 1Xtra, speaking on Niniola’s dominance of the South African House music scene, “it’s a problem!” (sic).

Currently Maradona by Niniola is the No. 1 song on some major charts in South Africa (Metro FM SA and Capricorn FM) and has held steady at the top for three weeks consecutively. Maradona is also currently No. 1 song on MTV Base South’s Top 30 chart.

Just a few days ago and back here in Nigeria, Maradona reached No. 1 on Beat FM 99.9 African Top 10 chart.
