Afrobeats artiste and Grammy winner, Burna Boy, has been nominated in the World Artist of the Year category of the 12th Annual iHeartRadio Music Awards.
The event, set to take place on March 17, 2025, celebrates the most-played artists and songs across iHeartRadio stations and the app throughout 2024.
Adding to the excitement, Burna Boy took his global impact to another level, as he performed at Le Gala des Pièces Jaunes 2025, a charity event held at Paris La Défense Arena on January 23, 2025.
For its third edition, the gala featured a stellar lineup of international stars including Katy Perry, Gims, John Legend, Rosé, J-Hope, G-Dragon, and more.
As one of the most streamed and celebrated artistes in 2024, Burnas nomination and performance not only highlights his achievements, but also shines a spotlight on the rich musical heritage of Africa.
