This feat is merely the latest chapter in Burna Boy’s repertoire of groundbreaking achievements. The talented music act is the only Nigerian artist to be nominated for Grammys in five consecutive years. He is also the only Nigerian artist to win the Best International Act award at the BET Awards three consecutive times (2019, 2020, 2021) and the first to perform at the live Grammy Awards show.

He holds the record for the most streamed album in Africa (African Giant in 2019) and is the only Nigerian artist to win both Best African Music Act and Best International Act at the MOBO Awards.
