Burna Boy’s Global Concert Will Stream Live in Nigeria for Fans
Next Digital is making waves after confirming that it will be the official partner bringing Burna Boy’s much-talked-about global pay-per-view concert home to Africa. The show, which is scheduled to take place in Philadelphia at the World Café Live in March 2026, is already being described as a landmark event for both the artist and his fans across the continent.
The concert will be streamed across Africa in real time, giving fans the chance to experience the energy of Burna Boy’s set without boarding a plane. Also, the show will have a Metaverse option, powered by Sansar, where audiences can log in and enjoy a more immersive, digital version of the event.
For Next Digital, this partnership is about ensuring that Africa doesn’t sit on the sidelines when major global events are happening. According to the company, the aim is to make access easier, so fans can enjoy the same premium experience as people abroad, right from their homes or local spaces.
The project is backed by Centili Group, which is handling the streaming and pay-per-view services, and Sansar, which is building the Metaverse component. Together with Burna Boy at the center, the plan is to deliver something that has music, technology, and culture in a way Africa has not seen before.
Nigerian singer BNXN has made a claim online that has generated mixed reactions. The singer stated that living in Lagos is more expensive than living in Los Angeles, drawing from his personal experience in the United States.
Speaking about life abroad, BNXN explained that there are fewer financial obligations and requests for money compared to Nigeria, where people are often expected to support relatives and acquaintances.
“I was telling someone, since I got to the United States, I haven’t seen one egbon adugbo asking me to press money. Lagos is too expensive abeg. Lagos is more expensive than LA (Los Angeles),” BNXN stated.
It can be recalled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed charges against Blessing CEO over an alleged ₦13 million fraud case.
The case is reportedly linked to claims that the influencer obtained ₦13 million through an alleged cancer-related fundraising scheme.
It can also be recalled that Blessing CEO previously claimed she was battling Stage 4 breast cancer, a revelation that drew sympathy from many people and reportedly led to financial support from members of the public.
While investigations are still ongoing, the influencer remains innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James celebrated her 31st birthday and shared pictures on social media with her daughter.
The influencer spoke about how her life has changed and described motherhood as the greatest gift she has received.
“A year older, but the greatest gift isn’t the age… It’s the title I earned this year: MOTHER! This birthday hits differently because my heart now beats outside my body.”
“Before this year, birthdays were about me. Now, they’re a reminder of the little soul who made me a mom and changed my life forever.”
