Burna Boy emerges first African artiste to hit 1billion Audiomack streams

Grammy award-winning Nigerian singer, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has become the first African music artiste to hit one billion streams on Audiomack.

Burna Boy made the great feat as the global streaming platform announced it via a Twitter post on Thursday.

The ‘Last Last’ crooner achieved the feat with the combined streams of his last three albums and singles in recent years.

Burna Boy’s concert, which was held on Saturday, June 6, in the United Kingdom, sparked delight among his fans by virtue of his performance.
