Burna Boy has reached another major career landmark, further strengthening his standing as one of Africa’s most successful global exports.
The Grammy-winning star has now become the African artist with the most entries on the Billboard U.S. Hot 100, setting a new record that places him ahead of his peers on one of the world’s most competitive music charts.
He previously shared the record with fellow Nigerian star Tems but has now moved into sole possession of the milestone following his latest chart entry.
The new addition comes through his collaboration with Colombian superstar Shakira on the official World Cup record “Dai Dai,” which has continued to gain traction globally.
The song reportedly received an additional boost after the pair performed it during the World Cup opening ceremony, helping it climb further into mainstream visibility.
Beyond the new record, Burna Boy has also extended another impressive streak—becoming the first African artist to appear on the Billboard Hot 100 for six consecutive years, a run that highlights both consistency and global relevance.
From Lagos to the world stage, his chart presence continues to reflect a career built on international crossover appeal, strategic collaborations, and a steadily expanding audience across continents.
