Burna Boy is everywhere these days — performing at halftime of the NBA All-Star game, selling out Madison Square Garden, stadium tours, and the successes goes on and on. But what’s contributed most to Burna Boy’s incredible rise?

There’s a few things. One, Burna has positioned himself as a headliner. He rarely plays second fiddle to other artists. If Burna is doing a feature, it’s more to bring up another afrobeats artist — not necessarily himself.

Then there’s Burna’s stage presence. He’s a must-see talent on the stage, but this didn’t just happen. Burna developed his performance style year after year, mainly in smaller venues. That’s no longer the case, however, as Burna is doing stadium shows around the world and become the “African Giant” he’s always believed he was.
