Grammy Award-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first African artist to reach two billion streams in the United Kingdom. This remarkable achievement was celebrated during his sold-out show at Koko Camden in London, where he was presented with a Brit Plaque in recognition of the feat.
The “Twice as Tall” singer's new accolade follows closely on the heels of his recent Brit 1 billion streams plaque, which he received at a sold-out concert at the London Stadium in June. These back-to-back honors highlight Burna Boy's soaring popularity and his significant impact on the global music scene.
In a viral video capturing the moment he received the Brit 2 billion streams plaque, Burna Boy expressed his gratitude and determination, saying, “I fought for it. You’ve to fight for your right.” One of the presenters remarked, “You already have it. You don’t need to fight,” to which Burna Boy responded, “No. You know, we have to fight for our rights.”
Burna Boy, often referred to as the ‘African Giant,’ has been making headlines for his electrifying performances across Europe and beyond. In the first half of the year alone, he has performed at major concerts, selling out venues throughout the United Kingdom. These achievements underscore his global appeal and solidify his reputation as the ‘Afrobeat Ambassador.’
Burna Boy’s success story is a testament to his relentless dedication to his craft and his ability to connect with audiences worldwide. As he continues to break barriers and set new records, Burna Boy remains a powerful symbol of African excellence on the global stage.
Congratulations to Burna Boy on this historic achievement! His journey inspires countless fans and musicians, proving that with hard work and determination, anything is possible.
