The “African Giant” himself, Burna Boy, is gearing up to bring his electrifying performances to Nairobi on March 1, 2025, setting the stage for what promises to be an unforgettable night of music, energy, and pure entertainment.
The 33-year-old Nigerian superstar, born Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, broke the thrilling news on Instagram in his signature understated yet impactful style.
Posting a simple photo accompanied by the caption “March 1st 2025” and the Kenyan flag emoji, Burna Boy sent his fans into a frenzy with just a single post.
Fan Frenzy Takes Over Social Media
Moments after the announcement, Kenyan fans flooded social media with excitement, eagerly anticipating the Grammy-winning artist’s long-awaited return to the country.
Burna Boy’s last visit to Nairobi was during the NRGWave Festival in 2019, a performance that sparked both love and disappointment among his fans after he took to the stage in the early hours of the morning.
One cheeky fan took to the comments to playfully shade him, writing:
“We nimkora tutalipa ukishaanza kuimba.” (“You’re a trickster; we’ll pay once you start singing.”)
Despite some mixed reactions stemming from the 2019 show, the overwhelming sentiment has been one of excitement and anticipation.
Fans are ready to sing along to hits like “Last Last,” “Ye,” and “It’s Plenty” as Burna Boy promises a concert experience like no other.
