Rwandan singer Mugisha Benjamin, popularly known as The Ben, has set a new YouTube milestone after his latest single, ‘Inshallah’, surpassed one million views within two days of its release.
The song, released on August 15, 2026, has recorded more than 1.2 million views, according to its official YouTube video, underscoring the strong early reception of the release.
The achievement puts The Ben in a select category of Rwandan solo artists whose songs have reached the one-million-view mark within such a short period.
According to the figures cited in the original report, the feat matches a record previously associated with fellow Rwandan singer Meddy, whose song ‘My Vow’ reportedly surpassed one million YouTube views within two days of its release.
The rapid rise of ‘Inshallah’ comes after The Ben had gone about seven months without releasing a new song, increasing anticipation among his fans.
The song’s strong performance also highlights The Ben’s continued popularity and the growing importance of digital platforms in determining the reach of Rwandan music.
With the track continuing to attract views, ‘Inshallah’ is emerging as one of the notable releases in Rwanda’s music scene in 2026.
