Afrobeats sensation Burna Boy is further solidifying his place as a global cultural icon with his recent nomination for ‘World Artist of the Year’ at the 12th annual iHeartRadio Music Awards.
Set to take place on March 17, 2025, the event honors the most-played artists and tracks across iHeartRadio stations and its app for the year 2024.
This prestigious nomination puts Burna Boy alongside fellow stars Central Cee, Tems, Tyla, and YG Marley, reinforcing his influence on the international music scene.
Just days ago, Burna Boy elevated his global impact by performing at the 2025 Le Gala des Pièces Jaunes, a high-profile charity event held at the Paris La Défense Arena on January 23.
The third edition of this spectacular gala will feature a star-studded lineup, including Katy Perry, Gims, John Legend, Rosé, J-Hope, G-Dragon, and many more.
As one of the most streamed artists of 2024, Burna Boy’s continued success and his performance at such a prestigious event not only celebrate his personal achievements but also bring global attention to Africa’s rich musical heritage.
