This is indeed wonderful news. Congratulations to Burna Boy.
Just recently, Legit.ng reported that Burna Boy would no longer be attending the Africans Unite concert that was set to hold in South Africa due to alleged anger against him.
Some months back people from other African countries based in South Africa were attacked by South Africans. Due to the xenophobic attacks, Burna Boy had vowed never to set foot in the country unless their government does something about it.
Amidst the anger and hate, the singer had been involved in a war of words with South African rapper AKA which led to anger towards him from some citizens of the country.
