The African Giant, Burna Boy, is gearing up to electrify Nairobi on March 1, 2025, promising an unforgettable night of music and entertainment.
The 33-year-old Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar, born Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, announced the concert on Instagram, sending fans into a frenzy.
In his signature straightforward style, Burna Boy posted a picture captioned, “March 1st 2025,” alongside the Kenyan flag.
The announcement sparked excitement across social media as fans eagerly anticipated his return. However, some took a trip down memory lane, playfully referencing his last performance in Kenya at the 2019 NRGWave Festival.
During that event, Burna Boy left fans disgruntled after hitting the stage in the early hours of the morning. One witty fan quipped, “We nimkora tutalipa ukishaanza kuimba,” which loosely translates to, “You’re a trickster; we’ll pay once you start singing.”
Despite the mixed memories, the buzz around his upcoming show is undeniable. Burna Boy’s star power has skyrocketed since his debut album, L.I.F.E., which featured the breakout hit “Like to Party” in 2012.
Today, he is a global icon with accolades like two BET Awards for Best International Act (2019, 2021) and the African Artist of the Year title at the 2020 Ghana Music Awards. Recently, Rolling Stone ranked him #197 on their list of the 200 greatest singers of all time, solidifying his reputation as one of the world’s finest vocalists.
With such an illustrious career, Burna Boy’s Nairobi concert is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated events of 2025.
