Ghanaian-American Afrofusion star Moliy has once again captivated audiences, this time by stopping traffic in Accra with an impromptu dance to her hit song “Shake It To The Max (FLY Remix).” In a video that has since gone viral, Moliy is seen stepping into the street and energetically dancing, causing an oncoming vehicle to halt. The spontaneous performance delighted fans and passersby alike, showcasing her vibrant personality and connection with her music.
This bold move comes on the heels of her song’s impressive climb to the top of the Billboard US Afrobeats Songs chart, dethroning Tyla’s “Push 2 Start,” which had maintained the number one spot for 20 weeks. The remix, featuring Jamaican artists Shenseea, Skillibeng, and producer Silent Addy, has also garnered over 22 million views on YouTube within a month of its release.
Social media has been abuzz with reactions to Moliy’s street performance. One user commented, “Have watched it more than 50 times. I just like people wey dem Dey fool like me and my friends.” Another quipped, “If this becomes a ‘Car accident challenge’… They’re going to blame Moliy, not the medicine.”
Moliy’s rise to fame has been meteoric. From her early days in Accra to becoming the Ghanaian artist with the highest number of monthly listeners on Spotify—boasting over 5.6 million—she continues to break barriers and set new standards in the music industry
Her unique blend of Afrobeats, highlife, and global influences has not only resonated with fans worldwide but also caught the attention of industry legends. Dancehall icon Vybz Kartel recently co-signed Moliy after their performance in the U.S., hinting at a potential visit to Ghana later this year
As Moliy continues to “shake it to the max,” both literally and figuratively, the world watches in anticipation of her next move.
