The Nigerian Afro-Fusion musician, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, known professionally as Burna Boy, has amassed total streams of 1 billion views, which includes views on all of his music videos on Youtube.
This latest feat makes him the first Nigerian artist to reach a billion views on Youtube, thanks to videos like ‘On The Low’, which received 225 million views. Also, Burna Boy’s single ‘Ye’, which has been dubbed as “international breakout material” by many, received 159 million views.

Fans of Burna Boy upon sighting the news reacted. Several people congratulated him and some noted that he is indeed proving to the world why he is called ‘The African Giant’.

Speaking of Burna Boy and his music career, it can be recalled that in March, he had hinted that he is working on a new album and promised music fans that they will experience his life stories in the upcoming album.
