Grammy-award-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy has once again reached new heights in his career, leaving his fans exhilarated with his latest achievement.
The renowned artist has accomplished an extraordinary feat by selling out London Stadium, a massive venue with an 80,000 capacity.
This monumental milestone establishes Burna Boy as the first African artist to headline a UK stadium solo. The concert, which took place on Saturday, June 3, was part of Burna's highly anticipated Love, Damini Tour and delivered electrifying performances from the artist himself, as well as international acts such as JHus, Stormzy, Dave, and more.
With the crowd roaring in excitement, Burna Boy captivated his audience with renditions of his chart-topping singles, and he even treated them to unreleased records, including his collaboration with JHus from the latter's highly anticipated album, 'Don't Say Militancy.'
In a pre-concert interview with London Stadium, Burna Boy expressed his determination to make history and silence any doubts about his extraordinary talent.
He confidently declared, "London Stadium is going to be my fairground! I've been told that I couldn't achieve anything because of where I came from. I hope this can show people that when you have a dream, it doesn't matter where you've come from – your dream can come true. This is going to be legendary; it's history in the making, and I can't wait for all of you to be a part of it."
Burna Boy's artistic prowess has consistently shattered barriers and redefined expectations. Previously, he made history by selling out arenas in London and filling the 40,000-capacity La Defense Arena in Paris on Saturday, May 20, 2023.
Social media platforms have erupted with joy and admiration as users from around the world celebrate Burna Boy's remarkable achievement as the African Giant.
