Burna Boy Becomes The First African Artist To Perform At The Billboard Music Awards

Afrobeats to the world!
Burna Boy just delivered a spectacular performance at the 2022 Billboard Awards in MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Odogwu got fans grooving to his new single, the Toni Braxton-sampling “Last Last,” and the dub-flavored, laid-back single “Kilometer” from 2021. Burna Boy wore a stylishly flayed black suit jacket and shorts compliments of his stylist sister, Romani as he wowed the crowd.

For people wondering why his performance is special, it would excite you to know that Burna Boy is the first Nigerian artist to perform at a Billboard Award Show. Not even Wizkid, who has been nominated many times and has 2 billboard awards performed on the Billboard stage.

Burna Boy shared the stage with Diddy, Becky G, Silk Sonic, Megan the Stallion, Bryson, and Machine Gun.
