Burna Boy‘s musical journey is nothing short of remarkable: with one Grammy Award for “Best World Music Album,” 10 Grammy nominations, multi-platinum sales, and sold-out shows including headlining at the UEFA Champions League Final Kick-Off Show.

Last year, Burna Boy performed to a sold-out crowd of 60,000 at London Stadium and headlined in Istanbul as part of the UEFA Champions League Final Kick-Off Show. During this event, he premiered the hit single “Sittin’ on Top of the World,” promoting his 7th career album, “I Told Them…”, which debuted at number 1 on the UK Albums Chart and earned four Grammy Award nominations in major categories.

Rolling Stone magazine recognized Burna Boy‘s album on their “The 100 Best Albums of 2023” list, while Time Magazine recently named him one of the world’s 100 most influential personalities in 2024. This prestigious ranking acknowledges the significant contributions of individuals across various fields including art, culture, and social activism.
