Burna Boy has established a new record for the highest-grossing tour by an African artist in Canada
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.
Nigerian actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has revealed that she once had the chance to become a billionaire through the political field but turned it down.
She shared the reason she turned it down, saying it was because of her principles. She also shared that she would have compromised her principles if she had gone down that path.
“I tell people that if I wanted to be a billionaire, I could have been one easily. I’ve been offered that opportunity through politics, but I chose not to take it because it would compromise my principles.”
Nigerian filmmaker Kunle Afolayan has spoken about why many filmmakers, actors, and actresses have taken to filming content for YouTube.
He revealed that it is all about the dollar exchange rate on YouTube.
“Nigerian filmmakers are rushing to YouTube because of the dollar exchange rate. At N1,400 to $1, they celebrate 1 million views because it can bring in about $10,000. But if the dollar falls to N200, everyone will run away from YouTube.”
