Award-winning Nigerian music icon Burna Boy has made a triumphant return with the release of his eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness, which officially dropped on July 11, 2025.
The album wasted no time in making an impact, soaring straight to the number one spot on the Apple Music Nigeria Top Albums Chart on its first day of release. The feat not only reaffirms Burna Boy’s unrivaled dominance in the local music scene but also cements his reputation as a global heavyweight in the Afrobeats movement.
No Sign of Weakness edged out major new releases, including BNXN’s CAPTAIN and Olamide’s Olamidé, to claim the top position, underscoring Burna’s enduring influence and the strong anticipation that surrounded the album.
The 16-track project boasts a star-studded lineup of guest features, including rock legend Mick Jagger, American rapper Travis Scott, Belgian singer Stromae, and genre-bending American artist Shaboozey. Blending Afrobeats with global sounds, the album delivers a rich and experimental sonic experience that reflects Burna Boy’s growth and ambition.
