Grammy Award-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy has achieved yet another remarkable milestone in his illustrious career, leaving his fans ecstatic about his latest feat.
The talented artist has accomplished the remarkable feat of selling out an 80,000-capacity stadium in London, United Kingdom, solidifying his position as the first African artist to independently headline a stadium in the UK.
As part of Burna’s highly anticipated Love, Damini Tour, the concert took place on Saturday, June 3, and captivated the audience with electrifying performances not only from Burna himself but also from renowned international acts such as JHus, Stormzy, Dave, and more.
The crowd was left in awe as Burna delivered breathtaking renditions of his hit singles, along with exclusive, unreleased tracks, including his collaboration with JHus from the latter’s highly anticipated album ‘Don’t Say Militancy.’
In a recent interview with London Stadium, Burna expressed his determination to make history and dispel any doubts about his prowess.
He said, “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 and I can’t wait for you all to be a part of that.”
Throughout his career, the Love Damini sensation has consistently shattered records with his artistic brilliance, previously selling out arenas in London and performing to a crowd of 40,000 at the renowned La Defense Arena in Paris on May 20, 2023.
Following this extraordinary accomplishment, social media platforms have been flooded with messages of celebration and admiration for the African Giant.
