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.
VeryDarkMan shares that he was warned by Burna Boy once that the Nigerians he fights for will one day turn on him.
He shared “Burna Boy warned me, he said the Nigerians I’m fighting for will backstab me. They’ll put knife in your neck if they have the opportunity.”
“Fighting for Nigerians is tiring. Same Nigerians that tried to cancel Burna of their own because of what happened in his UK show. Una international star. Just because him tell one person make him Comot from him show, Una join them everybody wan cancel am.”
