South African rapper, Cassper Nyovest is the only African artist to have topped the attendance records at the iconic FNB Stadium — which has a capacity of over 94,000 people — in 2017 with 68,000 people. This leads to lots of speculation as to whether the African Giant will surpass Nyovest’s record and achieve a sold-out stadium.
Following the global success of his 2022 album Love, Damini, Burna Boy won his fourth BET International Act award in June 2023, walking away with the “Best International Act” award. Earlier this year, Rolling Stone, ranked him number 197 on its list of the 200 greatest singers of all time.
Tickets for the show are available here.
