Lojay released the hit track, which is a single off ‘LV N ATTN’, his 5-track extended play (EP), last year.
Since the release of the EP, the less than four-minute track has enjoyed more playing time than any other songs on the project.
The song shot Lojay into the limelight. ‘Monalisa’ has continued to rise through several charts including Apple Music, Spotify, and Shazam.
The partnership with Lojay stretches the list of collaborations between Brown and Nigerian artists.
The US singer has worked with top Nigerian musicians such as Wizkid, Davido and Rema.
The latest collaboration between Brown and Lojay has also continued to elicit reactions on social media, with music enthusiasts hailing the partnership.
