Burna Boy, the Afrofusion singer, has reacted to the honour he received from a city in the United States.
Last week, the city of Boston, Massachusetts declared March 2 as Burna Boy’s Day.
The honour was in recognition of the singer’s artistic contributions and advocacy efforts.
In a post via X, Burna Boy shared a photo of himself holding the plaque.
He also thanked the city for the recognition and reiterated his artistic mission.
“I feel incredibly honoured and privileged! Thank you, Boston!” Burna Boy wrote.
“The goal has always been the same, to bring the world together. We are all so different but all the same! March 2nd, a.k.a Burna Boy Day.”

Burna Boy started to attract attention in 2013 after releasing ‘Like to Party,’ the lead single from his debut album ‘L.I.F.E.’
With a string of awards and accolades, the singer has solidified his status as one of the leading artistes out of Africa.
In 2021, Burna Boy set a record in Nigeria after his fifth album ‘Twice As Tall’ won the ‘Best World Music Album’ category at the Grammy Awards.
In January, the singer received nominations for the 2024 NAACP Image Awards.
The singer also secured four nominations at this year’s Grammy Awards — but lost in all categories.
