Nigerian sensation Burna Boy has notched another extraordinary milestone in his already impressive career, with his 2022 hit track, ‘Last Last,’ achieving Diamond certification in France. The unofficial anthem of the summer in 2022 earned this prestigious recognition from the National Syndicate of Phonographic Publishing (SNEP), the French music trade body responsible for monitoring music sales in the country.

In 2023, Burna Boy’s album ‘I Told Them’ achieved a remarkable milestone by surpassing 200 million streams on Spotify. Additionally, the Nigerian artist made headlines for his Twitter rant, during which he offered money to Nigerian bloggers in exchange for them ceasing to report on him. Unfortunately, Burna Boy also faced disappointment when he lost the title of Best Afrobeats at the MTV EMA Awards, which have since been canceled.
