Burna Boy will sell out a London Stadium concert for the second time in a row. Burna Boy became the first African musician to sell out the stadium with 80,000 seats in 2023. Burna Boy, real name Damini Ogulu, rose to prominence with the release of “Like to Party,” the main song off his 2013 debut album “L.I.F.E.”
After his fifth album, “Twice As Tall,” received the Grammy Award for “Best World Music Album,” the singer broke a record in Nigeria in 2021.
