It’s no secret - Burna Boy is really on fire these days. Pun intended, of course. The hip-hop artist shows no signs of slowing down and takes fans deeper into his non-stop grind with a deep dive conversation with Apple Music 1’s Ebro Darden.
From a behind the scenes look at his historic sold out London stadium show to talking about his latest music, the global superstar doesn’t hold back on this journey.
Burna Boy sits down with Ebro Darden on location in London ahead of his Apple Music Live performance to talk about the journey from Nigeria to the legendary London Stadium. Burna Boy knew that he was destined for greatness telling Ebro, "I guarantee you there's nothing that's happening now that I didn't tell them in 2013 and 2014, '15 and '16. I've been saying this was going to happen because I knew.” The Love, Damini artist is dedicated to helping listeners continually discover music saying, "We're trying to make the world understand that music is bigger than a genre.”
