Burna Boy has achieved another remarkable milestone, emerging as the top-grossing African artist in Canada. As revealed by Touring Data on June 13, 2024, his ‘I Told Them’ tour garnered $5.7 million from 69,219 tickets across 6 concerts, setting a new African record. This achievement adds to his previous accolades, such as headlining the Scotia Bank Arena in February 2024, marking the first time an African artist has done so.

Burna Boy’s groundbreaking endeavors underscore his global prominence as he continues to pioneer significant milestones for African artists. Earlier this year, he made history as the first African artist to perform at the Grammy main ceremony and received a nomination in a non-global category, further solidifying his impact on the international stage.

His success in 2024 has continued with the remix of Titom & Yuppe’s ‘Twala Bam,’ which became the first South African lead song to top the TurnTable Top 100 chart.

People need to learn to mind their own business and let those in love decide for themselves, without turning their love story into a spectacle for clout.To those who have become criticizing spectators, judging the newlyweds like they know the entire story and truth… remember, love is a personal journey. Let’s support their happiness and respect their choices.

“As someone who has been there and finally found someone who looked beyond my status and wealth. She was around and closer to me like blood. Never knew i would find love in someone I perceived as a sister. Indeed, everyone deserves to be happy… @sharonooja and Ugo Nwoke (Mr&Mrs), God bless your union.”
