YouTube History
On May 8, Tekashi made history after his single GOOBA garnered over 43.5 million views within 24 hours, making him the first Hip-Hop artiste to achieve such a milestone. It also made him the first and only solo male act (of any genre) to surpass 40 million views in the time frame (24 hours).
GOOBA broke YouTube’s record of the most-watched hip-hop video in a 24-hour span.
Previously the record of the most watched Hip-Hop song was being held by Eminem‘s ‘Killshot,’ that clocked 38.1 million within 24 hours back in 2018.

This is not that first song that Magix Enga is petitioning YouTube to pull down. In November last year, Harmonize’s Uno got deleted from YouTube after Magix Enga alleged that he had copied the hook and beats used in his song with King Kaka titled Dundaing.
