These are the Top International Locations where Burna Boy made history by being the first Nigerian Artist to headline and sell out.
Mp3bullet.ng presents Top International Locations Burna Boy has sold out in his career.
Burna Boy is called the African Giant for a reason. When you achieve the type of success he has been able to accomplish or the recognition he has gained over the years, it’s not hard to see why he is referred by that nickname.
Burna Boy will be headlining at Madison Square Garden in New York City on April 28th, proving once again that he is the African Giant.
Burna Boy’s upcoming appearance is doubly notable in the music industry because he’ll not only be performing at the venue as a solo artist, but he’ll also be selling it out, joining the ranks of Justin Bieber, Elvis Presley, and members of The Beatles who have sold out the 20,789 capacity arena.
To commemorate the special moment, Mp3bullet.ng compiled a list of the top international locations Burna boy has made history as the first Nigerian ARtist to headline, sell-out and shut down.
