By Daniel Usidamen January 2, 2024

Celebrated music producer and artist Pheelz reached new heights of success in 2022 with his chart-topping single ‘Finesse,’ featuring BNXN. The song, a commercial triumph, has now earned the prestigious RIAA platinum plaque, solidifying its impressive impact in the United States.

Pheelz took to his Instagram account to share the exhilarating news, and fans, as well as industry colleagues, flooded social media with congratulatory messages for the award-winning hitmaker.

Released in 2022 as a lead single for Pheelz’s EP ‘Pheelz Good,’ ‘Finesse’ quickly gained popularity. The anticipation for the single started building even before its release, as a snippet went viral on TikTok.

This remarkable achievement of attaining platinum status in the United States places Pheelz in the esteemed company of Nigerian music luminaries such as Wizkid, Burna Boy, CKay, Fireboy, Tems, and Rema, who have all earned RIAA platinum plaques.
