In the United States, Burna Boy is now the most recent Nigerian musician to get a day named in his honour.
Burna Boy has been leading the charge in exporting African music since making his breakthrough on the global market because of his amazing genre fusion and masterful stagecraft.
The City of Boston has accomplished a historic milestone by designating the second Saturday in March of each year as Burna Boy Day. The inaugural celebration is scheduled for March 2, 2024.
The announcement was made official by Councillor Ruthzee Louijeune in a press release. Burna Boy’s musical contributions to the advancement of African culture and ideas were acknowledged by the city. The news statement also emphasised Burna Boy’s advocacy work and conversation-starting efforts around equality, representation, and social justice.
The nation’s largest African immigrant population, Nigerians, have been honoured by the City of Boston for their efforts to promote cultural diversity in the country.
Burna Boy now shares an official day in the US with Davido and Wizkid, two more Nigerian performers.
