Nigerians have taken to social media to commend Afrobeat sensation, Burna Boy after his soldout show at Wembley Arena (SSE Arena) in London, UK, the same night he won the 2019 MTV EMA’s Best African Act’ Award.
The ‘Ye’ crooner also received a plaque from the Arena’s management as the first African Artiste to sell out the Wembley Arena.
Before the sold-out concert which was held at the 12,500-seat SSE Arena, Burna Boy took to his Instagram account page and called the event, “The biggest one yet.”
At the concert, Burna Boy was joined by his Nigerian compatriots, Wizkid and Davido. Santan Dave, Manifest, Ij Wstrn and Stormzy were also performers at the concert.
From the impressive and epic entrance to energetic performances, here’s how fans on social media are reacting to the Afrobeat sensation’s Wembley Arena sold-out concert.
