Grammy-winning singer continues to break records, following his 2022 headline show at Madison Square Garden.
Burna Boy continues to make history in his music career, becoming the first African artist to sell out a stadium in the United States. The Nigerian musician achieved this milestone during his headlining show at New York City's Citi Field on July 8. The 41,800-seater stadium was filled to capacity as Burna Boy performed tracks from his albums "Love, Damini," "Twice As Tall," "African Giant," and "Outside." He even had a special guest appearance from Dave, with whom he performed their collaboration "Location" from Dave's album "Psychodrama."
This achievement follows Burna Boy's historic headline performance at Madison Square Garden in April 2022, where he became the first Nigerian artist to take the stage at the renowned venue. His album "Love, Damini" garnered significant success, debuting at the highest position for an African album on the Billboard 200 chart and earning him a Grammy nomination for Best Global Music Album.
Burna Boy's groundbreaking accomplishments not only showcase his talent but also highlight the increasing global recognition of African music and artists. His ability to connect with audiences worldwide is a testament to his unique sound and cultural impact.
