Burna Boy, the Grammy award-winning Nigerian singer, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by becoming the first African musician to sell out a stadium show in the United States.
The talented artist, known for his hit song ‘Love Damini,’ successfully filled the 41,000-capacity Citi Field Stadium in New York City on Saturday.
Adding to the excitement, Burna Boy’s sister, Nissi, took the stage as the opening artiste for the concert.
