Afrobeat singer Ebunoluwa Damini Ogulu, professionally known as Burna Boy, has recorded a new feat in the UK.
In the recording making the rounds online, the Grammy Award winner was presented with an award plaque for being the first Nigerian singer to hit 2 billion streams in the UK.
The man, who presented the award plaque, praised the “Last Last” crooner for his effort not just in Nigeria but abroad.
In the video, Burna Boy said that he had to fight for his rights, but his mother corrected him that he had his right already and there was no need to fight.
Nigerian singer Rema was also seen in the recording applauding Burna Boy for his new feat.
Recall that the ‘City Boys’ crooner also broke a new record last week. He was ranked the number one artist in Nigeria by Google.
Reactions trail Burna Boy’s new record.

However, Ghanaian rapper M.anifest joined Burna Boy on stage during the recently held concert to commemorate the African Giant album.
The high-striding LP released in July 2019 earned him a Grammy nod for the Best World Music Album at the scheme’s 62nd edition.
Burna Boy tagged a celebratory concert in London to thrill a lucky set of fans with classics of the critically acclaimed album.
M.anifest was one of nine collaborators on Burna Boy’s 19-track African Giant album, which also included Future and Angelique Kidjo.
His verse on Another Story significantly complimented Burna Boy’s objective to amplify Nigeria’s current ills rooted in the country’s history.
The song’s political message made it a theme song for many fans when Nigeria celebrated its 59th year of independence.
Fans react to Burna Boy and M.anifest’s performance.
“Burna Boy and the M.anifest movement transcends beyond music. Brothers for 4 Life.”
