Burna Boy made history over the weekend when he became the first African artist to headline an 80,000 capacity stadium show in the UK.

Fans screamed the Nigerian Grammy award-winning star’s Afrobeats lyrics back to him at the London Stadium show that has won rave reviews.

During his performance, Burna Boy was joined by his super star friends like Stormzy, Dave, J Hus and Jamaican vocalist Popcaan on a giant merry-go-round to perform alongside him.

Fans danced in the aisles, creating a carnival like atmosphere as he bounced around the stage in a bright orange jumpsuit.
