Burna Boy recently made history when he performed at New York's Citi Field, becoming the first African artist to perform at a sold-out stadium in the United States. This incredible feat occurred on July 8, 2023, to the delight of the thousands of fans present. This marks the fifth time Burna Boy has taken the stage at a New York venue, having already performed at the PlayStation Theater in 2017, the Gramercy Theater in 2018, Harlem's Apollo stage in 2019, and Madison Square Garden in 2022.
The artist, born Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu MFR, hails from Port Harcourt, Nigeria and his setlist featured songs from some of his most popular projects, including "Love Damini," "Twice As Tall," "African Giant," and "Outside." His New York performance follows a similar success in June 2023, when he became the first African artist to headline a stadium in the United Kingdom. At London Stadium, he performed in front of a sold-out crowd of over 60,000 people, and even brought out celebrity friends like Stormzy and Dave on a giant merry-go-round.
Burna Boy's popularity has exploded over the past few years. Award-winning producer Swizz Beatz even credited himself for introducing Burna Boy to the United States, saying he was the "first person to bring Burna Boy to the States." Now, Burna Boy is making history with three albums doing numbers on Spotify.
It's amazing to see Burna Boy reach new heights with each performance, and it doesn't seem like his star power is slowing down anytime soon. We can't wait to see what he has in store for us next!
