- Burna Boy, is in the spotlight again.
- He is gaining attention for a spiritual moment rather than his music.
- A viral video shows him praying quietly before a live performance in the U.S.
Grammy Award-winning Nigerian artist Damini Ogulu, widely known as Burna Boy, is drawing attention once more—not for his musical feats, but for a deeply spiritual moment captured before a live performance.
A video that has quickly gained traction online shows the “Last Last” singer in a quiet moment of prayer just moments before taking the stage at a recent concert in the United States.
Clad in an elegant all-black ensemble, Burna Boy stood beside a member of his crew, bowing his head in solemn reflection. He was seen offering a heartfelt prayer of gratitude and focus before performing for a crowd of enthusiastic fans.
Renowned for global hits like Gbona, City Boys, and Last Last, Burna Boy continues to pack out arenas around the world with his high-energy performances. However, his concerts are not without their share of buzz-worthy moments.
At a 2024 show, the artist paused mid-performance to deliver a cryptic message to the audience. Seated on stage, he told fans that their “money had expired” and likened their continued enjoyment of the concert to “extra time.” The bold statement took the audience by surprise and was met with roaring applause.
Burna Boy said,
“Raise your hands if you want to enjoy the extra time.”
And without hesitation, the fans obeyed, lifting their hands into the air as they waited for what came next.
