The much anticipated event took place on April 28, 2022, in New York and videos from it have gone viral on social media.
The show opened with a small welcoming speech by legendary rapper Busta Rhymes, who thanked the crowd — which was overwhelmingly West African — for their rich culture and warm embrace when he visited Nigeria.
He spoke of Burna Boy’s connection to New York and why the show was more than just a standard concert, but rather an indicator of a new era in music.
With elaborate lighting and an array of dancers, Burna Boy was joined by his band The Outsiders, along with longtime collaborator, Senegalese singer, Youssou N’Dour.
They performed “Level Up”, from the 2020 album “Twice as Tall,” as the African drums resounded into every corner of the arena.
The crowd got wilder as Burna went deeper into the set, shouting the lyrics and even throwing several bras at him onstage — which he did not discourage, asking for more after the first landed onstage.
Whilst thrilling his over 20,000 fans at the show, Burna Boy, born Damini Ogulu, chose to perform the remix of Black Sherif‘s ‘Second Sermon’ which he featured on.
