Burna Boy Is the First African Artist To Sell Out a US Stadium
Following his 2022 record as the first Nigerian artist to headline Madison Square Garden.
Burna Boy has made history once again as the first African artist to ever sell out a stadium in the United States.
According to reports, the Love, Damini musician set the new record during his July 8 headlining show in New York City’s Citi Field where he sold out the 41,800-seater stadium. Burna Boy performed cuts from his last four records Love, Damini, Twice As Tall, African Giant and Outside, and even brought out Dave for a live rendition of their Pyschodrama collab “Location.”
In April 2022, Burna Boy also became the first Nigerian artist in history to headline Madison Square Garden. Love, Damini, which was released a few months after his MSG performance, set a new record of becoming the highest debut of an African album on the Billboard 200 chart and gave the artist a GRAMMY nomination for Best Global Music Album.
Elsewhere in music, Drake confirmed a new Nicki Minaj collab on For All the Dogs.
