Burna kicked off release week with the release of his exclusive cover story with the LA Times followed by an official album release party in New York City on August 21^st and a series of global listening parties taking place in several cities including New York, Houston, Atlanta, Sydney, Toronto, Lagos and many more. He was also seen performing on opening night of Dave Chappelle’s ‘It’s a Celebration B!%?#&$! Tour’ at Madison Square Garden on the night of August 22^nd helping to close the show with standout records “Ye” and “Last Last”. Dave was later seen backstage learning the signature dance to the highly anticipated record, “City Boys” (see original post here).

Earlier this week Burna also unveiled the latest single from the album “Cheat On Me” featuring friend and previous collaborator, Dave. The album also includes previously released singles Talibans II with Byron Messia, “Big 7”, which was accompanied by an official visual shot by the legendary Benny Boom in New York City with notable cameos from Rza (Wu-Tang Clan), Busta Rhymes, Junior Mafia and actor Shameik Moore (Spiderman), and “Sittin’ On Top Of The World” featuring multi-platinum artist, 21 Savage.

Last month, Burna Boy made history once again with his sold-out show at New York City’s Citi Field stadium. Becoming the first African artist in history to sell out a stadium in the U.S., the Nigerian showman commanded a crowd of more than 40,000 fans, including celebs like Busta Rhymes, SZA, NBA star Mo Bamba, NFL star Larry Ogunjobi, and British rapper Dave, who also joined Burna on stage for a special performance of their hit song “Location.” Highlights included a performance of his newest single, “Sittin’ On Top Of The World,” a sneak peek of his unreleased track “Big 7,” and an explosive finale where the crowd belted every word to the star’s massive hit “Last, Last” while fireworks lit up the sky. This history-making performance shortly followed his landmark London stadium performance where he became the first African to headline a stadium in the U.K. Viewers were able to enjoy this monumental show via an exclusive Apple Music Live stream.
