Burna Boy has announced intentions to host a stadium concert in the United Kingdom next year to benefit impoverished Africans.
Burna Boy via his Instagram story shared his aspirations to save Africa with a stadium concert in the United Kingdom next year.
The Grammy winner had his first headline show at the O2 stadium in London earlier this year, and it was a huge success.
Singers like Rema, Omah Lay, Ruger, and Ghana’s King Promise joined the artist on stage during the O2 show.
When Burna Boy made his entry into the event on a spaceship, he provided fans with an unforgettable experience.
The African Giant revealed that he got the idea for the stadium event in the UK next year after viewing the great film Bohemian Rhapsody.
He compared his suggestion to the Live Aid concert and urged the British government to support the cause fully. As he puts it:
‘It’s just a dream right now but I EXPECT THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT to support this fully. After all most of us are/were British colonies.’
His post is coming shortly after a lady took to Twitter to accuse him of using his music to paint Africa in a bad light for his financial gain.

According to the lady by the username, @BigDera on Twitter, Burna Boy is fond of making it look like Africa is suffering and a jungle in his songs and music videos for his own profit.
The lady claims that this is an insult to Africans and that the Grammy singer should stop making it look like Africans live in jungles and in forests.
Burna who came across the post on an Instagram blog took to the comment section to reply to her.
In his lengthy reply, he fired back at Big Dera saying that she might be among those set of people who live abroad and come back for holiday and think they know better Africa and what he should sing about.
According to him, he doesn’t gain anything by singing about the oppression being faced by Africans as it takes more from him and his pockets to sing about the truth like he has always done.
